Chiltern Railways asks customers to check before they travel this week
Customers travelling with Chiltern Railways are being asked to check before they travel this week (Friday 1 November, Saturday 2 November and Sunday 3 November).
A combination of London Underground industrial action, engineering works and operational challenges driven by ongoing fuelling issues will affect Chiltern services over the coming days. Customers should plan ahead and check their journey including on the day of travel.
HS2 viaduct works near Wendover are taking place this weekend and engineering works at London Paddington on Sunday (3 November) will mean Chiltern services between London Marylebone and Oxford are likely to be busier than usual.
Michael Stewart, Commercial & Customer Strategy Director at Chiltern Railways, said:
“I strongly encourage customers to check their journeys on the day of travelling this week as journey planners may not be updated until late in the evening on the previous day.
“Services on certain routes may be subject to disruption and I would like to thank passengers for their understanding ahead of the weekend.”
