Chiltern Railways customers reminded of upcoming London Underground industrial action
Customers travelling with Chiltern Railways are being reminded of upcoming industrial action on the London Underground which will impact rail services on the Metropolitan Line.
Members of the ASLEF and RMT unions have announced their intention to stage industrial action on the London Underground on different days between Friday 1 November and Saturday 16 November.
Chiltern Railways’ services which run on the Metropolitan Line (London Marylebone to Aylesbury via Amersham) will be affected as a result. Customers are urged to check their journeys in advance of travelling.
Michael Stewart, Commercial & Customer Strategy Director at Chiltern Railways, said:
“I would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding as the London Underground industrial action will disrupt our services on the Metropolitan Line in November.
“On certain days between Friday 1 November and Saturday 16 November there will be no Chiltern services operating between London Marylebone and Great Missenden so I urge customers to plan ahead.”
A daily breakdown of the impact to Chiltern Railways’ services across the period is as follows:
- Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 November - Engineering works are in place between Great Missenden and Aylesbury all day on both days. Rail replacement bus services will operate connecting with trains to/from London Marylebone at Beaconsfield
