South Western Rail strikes: will your journey be affected?
Passengers across the West Country face travel disruption as rail unions begin four days of strike action on South Western Railway.
Striking workers have accused the company of 'dragging its heels' over the issue of guaranteeing guards on trains.
South Western Rail says it will be running just over half its normal timetable with rail replacements on some routes.
Passengers are being advised to check schedules before they travel.
Here's a round-up of some of the routes that are being affected:
Salisbury to London Waterloo:
A reduced service will run on this route, with an hourly service between Salisbury and London Waterloo.
Salisbury to Exeter:
A reduced train service will run between Salisbury and Exeter St David's with trains starting later and finishing earlier than usual. Trains will not stop at Feniton, Whimple, or Exeter St Davids.
There will be an hourly bus replacement service to travel to Honiton, so passengers can catch a train service from Honiton to Salisbury and change at Salisbury for a train service to London Waterloo.
To travel to Exeter from any of these stations, passengers are being advised to use the hourly bus replacement service from Honiton.
Salisbury to Bristol:
No trains running on this route.
