Chiltern Railways updates customers after ASLEF London Underground strike suspension

Customers travelling with Chiltern Railways are being advised that a normal timetable will resume from Thursday (07 November) following the suspension of industrial action on the London Underground by the ASLEF union. 

Members of the ASLEF and RMT unions recently announced their intention to stage industrial action on the London Underground on different days between Friday 01 November and Saturday 16 November. Members of the RMT union suspended their industrial action on Friday (01 November), and members of the ASLEF union suspended their industrial action yesterday (05 November).  

No Chiltern services will operate between London Marylebone and Great Missenden today (Wednesday 06 November) due to the short notice of the cancellation, but a normal timetable on the line has been reinstated from Thursday (07 November) following the suspension of the industrial action by ASLEF. 

A daily breakdown of the impact to Chiltern Railways’ services across the period is as follows:   

  • Wednesday 06 November - No Chiltern services will operate between London Marylebone and Great Missenden. A limited service will operate between Great Missenden and Aylesbury/Aylesbury Vale Parkway.
