Planned strikes by the RMT that are set to bring London's tube services to a halt next week may have a knock-on effect of some services operated by Great Northern, Thameslink and Southern.
Eight stations on the Great Northern, Thameslink and Southern network may be affected by strikes on the tube because they are operated by London Underground. The Tube strikes will also result in National Rail trains around London being much busier than usual, with journeys generally taking longer than normal.
Passengers intending to travel around London next week should check online at National Rail Enquiries before they travel as changes to services may not appear until the day before travel. Customers should also check for the latest information before they travel at www.greatnorthernrail.com, www.thameslinkrailway.com and www.southernrailway.com.
