Tube Challenge on days between National Rail strikes

Post by nick468 »

Hi there,

Would anyone have any information/advice on doing a full network challenge attempt next Friday, September 16? It falls the day between the two National Rail strikes.

I'm assuming because the London Underground is, in a lot of parts, separate to National Rail, it might not be an issue in the early morning - but I might be wrong, so feel free to correct me! Not likely to be using any National Rail service until around 12-noon ish.

National Rail has links to information from all the affected train companies.

A quick scan of Thameslink and Great Northern suggests disruption to morning and evening services but you might be ok during the middle of the day.

Good luck!
Not a plus one :wink:

As EAW has posted elsewhere, the industrial action for next week has now been suspended.

Though this is now a question I'm pondering regarding whether or not to attempt the FNC next Friday, with a strike on Saturday.

Biggest concern is whether the 2311 Amersham - Marylebone and 0039 Paddington to Reading will be running.
