Strike action today means that there will be no trains running from Weymouth. 

Industrial action being taken by ASLEF, the train drivers union, begins today (Tuesday, May 7) and South Western Railway (SWR) train services will not be running in the county. 

This means that there will be no service from Weymouth to London. 

Passengers are advised to only travel if their journey is absolutely necessary and to check ahead of time before making any journeys.

The strike action will continue to disrupt train services throughout the week.

From Wednesday, May 8 to Friday May 10 there will also be reduced trains running from Weymouth.

There will be one train per hour to Weymouth, other half hour service will run between London Waterloo and Bournemouth and there will be some cancellations.

On Saturday, May 11, there will again be just one train per hour running from Weymouth to London. 

An SWR spokesperson said: “Strike action will take place the following day, Tuesday May 7, and we are asking customers to only travel if their journeys are absolutely necessary. We will run a significantly reduced service with large parts of our network closed, and trains will only run between 7am and 7pm.

“The overtime ban will then continue from Wednesday 8 to Saturday 11 May which will again mean a revised service. Engineering work will take place on Saturday 11 leading to further service changes, so once again, we are encouraging customers to check before travelling.

“We are very sorry for the disruption that this industrial action will cause and are very thankful for our customers' continued patience."
