Railway strike action will not now go ahead following the death of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

South Western Railway (SWR) is advising customers that, following the death of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the strike action (15th and 17th September) has been suspended by trade unions.

"At a time of national mourning, we are united with the rest of the railway family in sending our condolences to His Majesty The King and the whole Royal Family," a spokesperson for SWR said.

SWR plans to reinstate normal service for the days which would have been affected by the strikes. They said they're also working on what further changes might be required as part of preparations to help the nation commemorate Her Late Majesty.

The timetable for the day of Her Late Majesty's funeral (19th) has not yet been confirmed, customers are being urged to check journey planners regularly for the latest information and should also be aware that services are expected to be extremely busy on that day.
