Chiltern Railways RMT members are striking on Saturday 17 October. Chiltern expect to run most services as normal. However, travellers planning weekend trips from London should be aware of specific route changes: service into and out of London Marylebone will be near-normal, but no services run to Stratford-upon-Avon or Leamington Spa, and four long-distance services will be shortened.
The remaining planned RMT strikes on TransPennine Express for 18 and 25 October have been called off. This means if you're planning travel on other dates this month, national rail services should operate normally. There are currently no London Underground strikes scheduled for October.
