Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 13:44 · Archive

Chiltern Railways has announced service disruptions throughout October due to engineering works, Wembley events and possible industrial action.

Chiltern Railways has announced an amended timetable for the coming weeks due to engineering works, Wembley events and potential industrial action across its network. The company operates services in Greater London and the south east, including the Chiltern Main Line in Oxfordshire.

Engineering work is scheduled for this weekend, 24 and 25 October, between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury. On 31 October there will be late night engineering work at Oxford continuing into the early morning. Between 2 and 5 November, Oxford engineering works after 11.15pm will affect some late night services from Marylebone. The company has not yet announced any industrial action dates, but says updated information will be posted if the situation changes.

The announcements come as Chiltern Railways remains in dispute with the union RMT over how trains will operate on the first phase of the East West Rail between Oxford and Milton Keynes. The union opposes plans for driver-only operation and says the company has failed to guarantee the safety-critical role of a second crew member on board.
