Train operator Chiltern Railways has warned customers to only travel on its services if absolutely essential next week.
Between 13 - 17 December and 19 - 20 December, no Chiltern Railways services will run north of Banbury.
On 18 December, no Chiltern Railways services are expected to run.

On 15 December, there also be a late start to services, but they will run later into the evening.
Owing to further industrial action between 18 December and 2 January, Chiltern Railways are expecting significant disruption throughout this period.

Chiltern Railways will endeavour to give customers 48 hours’ notice in the event of service cancellations.
