Strike action next week – southeastern
Strike action is due to take place on our network on Wednesday 1 and Friday 3 February.
The ASLEF union has announced strike action next week on Wednesday 1 February and Friday 3 February. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
No Southeastern services on these dates
If this goes ahead, we will be unable to run any Southeastern services. For alternative transport options visit traveline.
We’ll be running our normal timetable on the days either side of the strikes, provided no further action is announced. Journey planners will be updated by the end of today.
If the strike action is cancelled at short notice, we may not be able to switch back to our normal timetable immediately. Rail services are built in complex, interrelated IT systems covering fleet, crew schedules and rosters and so it takes some time to get everything back into place.
Our website will be updated in real-time with the latest information.
Refunds for strike days
If this affects your travel please visit our strike refund page for more information
- If you have an Advance, Anytime or Off-Peak ticket for travel on a strike day you can instead use your ticket on the day before the date on the ticket or up to and including Tuesday 7 February. If the ticket is for a journey that includes the London Underground it will not be valid on London Underground services on an alternative date.
- You can claim a full refund with no admin fee for your unused ticket (other than season ticket), if you decide not to travel because the train you intended to use is cancelled, delayed or rescheduled after you purchased your ticket.
- You can request a fee-free change of journey or cash refund for all ticket types (other than season ticket) if the train was cancelled or delayed or rescheduled from that in the published timetable of the day after you have purchased a ticket.
- If you didn’t/couldn’t make your outward journey because of strike action, you can have a refund on your outward and return ticket (other than season ticket) even if the latter is not affected by strike action. The same applies if your return journey is affected, but your outward journey is not.
- If you have an Advance ticket you can either apply for a full refund with no admin fee if the train that the ticket is booked for is cancelled, delayed or rescheduled or return it to the original retailer for an eVoucher, for use purchasing a future ticket.
- If you’re a Season ticket holder (Flexi, monthly or longer) you can use Delay Repay to claim a day travel back if you don’t travel on strike days.
