The ASLEF union has announced that action will take place by its members on the following dates that will affect Sussex train services.
- Sunday 3rd December (Thameslink & Great Northern)
- Wednesday 6th December (Southern & Gatwick Express)
It has also been announced that there will be a ban on overtime from Friday 1st December until Saturday 9th December.
They say: “Trains will be busier than usual throughout this period, especially during peak hours. It’s likely you will need to queue, and you may not be able to board your chosen service. You should allow extra time for your journey.
“Other train companies will also be affected by industrial action and engineering works, so check individual operator websites for further details, and always be sure to check your full journey.
“We will not operate the usual non-stop Gatwick Express service between London Victoria, Gatwick Airport and Brighton during this period. To help customers we have added extra stops at Clapham Junction and East Croydon, and as such these trains will be operating as Southern services. Gatwick Express tickets are valid on Southern and Thameslink at no additional cost.
