Cancellation and Postponement of September Industrial Action

Unions including ASLEF, the TSSA, and the RMT had all announced rail strikes for September. However, with the sad news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, each has announced that its planned strikes will be cancelled or postponed as follows:

• The RMT’s planned strike action on 15 and 17 September has been suspended
• The TSSA’s planned industrial action for September has been cancelled
• ASLEF’s planned industrial action on 15 September has been postponed

At present, there will therefore be no need for commuters to cancel or otherwise change their travel to work in light of industrial action. The Queen's state funeral will take place on 19 September, and the day has been declared a Day of National Mourning and a bank holiday in all parts of the UK.
