Southeastern and national train services will not run on February 1 and 3 due to strike action being taken.

Southeastern is running a normal timetable on days either side of the strikes, but other train companies may not be able to do so.

Scott Brightwell, Operations and Safety Director at Southeastern said: “If this strike action goes ahead, we’re sorry, but there’ll be no Southeastern train services at all. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this strike action will cause you.”

Members of Aslef train drivers union and the RMT (Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers) will be taking action on both dates in a dispute over pay, conditions and passenger safety.

If you have an Advance, Anytime or Off-Peak ticket for travel on a strike day you can instead use your ticket on the day before the date on the ticket or up to and including Tuesday 7 February. If the ticket is for a journey that includes the London Underground it will not be valid on London Underground services on an alternative date.

You can claim a full refund with no admin fee for your unused ticket (other than season ticket), if you decide not to travel because the train you intended to use is cancelled, delayed or rescheduled after you purchased your ticket.
