This creates safety concerns for those travelling, as well as our colleagues, so please consider your plans to use our very limited service as our trains are set to be severely disrupted and very busy. If you must travel, please allow plenty of time, expect disruption and make sure you plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are grateful to customers who have made alternative arrangements or delayed their journeys this week to avoid strike days across the rail network. This has meant we can support those in vital roles such as key workers in healthcare and education, as well as construction workers and school children, make essential journeys to work and for educational purposes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are advising customers not to buy tickets to travel on a strike day but they will be able to get a refund if they cannot travel due to strike action.
