Despite intense talks with the rail bosses, RMT has not been able to secure a pay proposal nor a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies." The spokesman said: "Network Rail and the train operating companies have subjected their staff to multiyear pay freezes and plan to cut thousands of jobs which will make the railways unsafe. The RMT estimates over 50,000 railway workers will walkout over the three days, which they call "the biggest dispute on the network since 1989." They say the action is "due to the inability of the rail employers to come to a negotiated settlement with RMT." Expect these trains to be very busy." Why are the RMT striking? This means, if you do have to travel, you should carefully check the first and last train for your station. Trains will only be able to run during limited hours and will finish in the late afternoon. "Many stations and routes will be closed. We recognise that it will be very difficult to travel and our advice, regrettably, is to travel only if your journey is absolutely necessary. "As this Industrial Action is affecting the whole country, we will be unable to provide alternatives such as replacement buses and ticket acceptance with other local rail and bus operators. Between Tuesday 21 June and Sunday 26 June inclusive, please only travel if your journey is absolutely necessary, and expect disruption. "We’re really sorry if this affects your journey plans. Although our colleagues are not on strike, this national action will severely affect all journeys on Southern, Gatwick Express, Thameslink and Great Northern between Tuesday 21 June and Sunday 26 June. GTR has said online: "Nationwide rail strikes have been called by the RMT union at Network Rail and by other train operators to take place on Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 June. GTR has warned that because the strike is affecting the entire country, it will be unable to provide alternatives such as replacement buses and ticket acceptance with other local rail and bus operators. They are beginning strike action due to disagreements regarding their pay as well as potential for job losses which the union believe would make the railways unsafe. The industrial action is being carried out by the RMT trade union.

Southern and Thameslink services cover most of Sussex including the Brighton mainline and routes into London. GTR workers are not striking, but the rail operator is still expected heavy disruption as many other staff from other operators are striking.Ī warning against all but necessary travel across the GTR network is in place for Tuesday 21, Thursday 23, and Saturday June 25. GTR joins Southeastern, which also operates in Sussex, yesterday (June 14) told its passengers not to travel at points next week due to the strike from RMT union workers. The operator - which owns Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express - has said disruption is expected from next Tuesday (June 21). Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has told its passengers to only travel if necessary on six days next week due to the knock-on impact of rail strikes elsewhere.
