Not just protests, could be the biggest protests/ demonstrations ever in the capital. Its the "We Demand Better" rally, basically against everything, fire and rehire, P&O, cost of living, partygate etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be, Glasto wednesday will have been purposely avoided. There are still due to be extra trains/ services that day, although i would expect some possible cancelations due to trains/ crew being in the wrong places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The potential hiccup is cancellations/delays/other issues on Wednesday due to the back log on Tuesday as well as trains not being in the right places, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get to places for Thursday or the festival are fine. Very much TBC but logic dictates that the days around the strike may well resemble a Sunday service. At the very least services will almost certainly start slightly late and finish slightly early on the Wednesday. And of course any services that do run on Wednesday will be busier than usual due to people having difficulty travelling on the Tuesday and Thursday.

zahidf Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Absokute dickheads. Ruining the festival plans for 10s of thousands of people. Hope they break the union 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorT Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Supposed to be travelling down from Edinburgh on the Tuesday morning 😭 When we finally do get on the farm it will taste even sweeter. They’ve really thrown it all at us eh. Who knows about this kinda shit? Is a deal likely to be struck? Will it actually happen or is it really the case anyone planning to use a train on Tuesday should really look at other means and ways immediately?

It was supposed to be a negotiating tactic, but the fact they’ve skipped straight past an overtime ban and gone straight for the jugular is pretty bad news.

Partner needs to get to bath on Wednesday for early Thursday. Me and my mate are coming from Colchester and booked into Bath on the 21st to get a coach on the Wednesday morning. Maybe if there's enough of us we can all get a cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be gone pretty quick there will still be some services "The BBC understands the action will leave around a fifth of mainline rail services running on the strike days, with the majority operating for a maximum of 12 hours."
