South Western Railway has published its timetable for Monday 8 April showing services operating on a limited number of lines due to a strike by drivers.
There will be no service at all on the Hounslow Loop line meaning that stations such as Chiswick, Kew Bridge, Brentford, Syon Lane and Isleworth will be closed.
A significantly reduced service from Feltham will call at Putney and Wandsworth Town. Wimbledon will be served by trains out of Woking.
Trains will only run between:
• Basingstoke and Salisbury
• London Waterloo and Basingstoke
• London Waterloo and Feltham
• London Waterloo and Guildford via Woking
• London Waterloo and Woking
There will be no trains to stations such as Southampton Central, Portsmouth Harbour, Windsor & Eton Riverside, Reading or Exeter St Davids.
Trains that are running will only do so between 7am and 7pm. There will be no services outside of these times.
London Underground services on Monday 8 April will also be affected by the ASLEF strike.
Due to an overtime ban, there will also be a revised timetable across the network on Thursday 4, Friday 5, Saturday 6 and Tuesday 9 April.
Steve Tyler, South Western Railway’s Performance and Planning Director, said, “Industrial action by the ASLEF union will mean only a significantly reduced service will run on Monday 8 April, so we are asking our customers to only travel if their journeys are absolutely necessary. For essential journeys, customers should check journey planners before setting off.
“The overtime ban on Thursday 4, Friday 5, Saturday 6 and Tuesday 9 April will mean that timetables will be revised. We are asking our customers to check before they travel, right up until they set off, as alterations on the day are possible.
“We are very sorry for the disruption that this industrial action will cause our customers and are very thankful for their continued patience.”
