Third strike for South Western Railway

550 trains axed in 24-hour strike today (31st July).

Previous walkouts took place last Saturday and Thursday, and the remaining strikes are scheduled on 4, 11, 18, 31 August and 1 September.

In a statement, the rail company said it was "surprised" the union had decided to call further strikes, "especially at a time when families want to be out and about enjoying the summer holidays".

"We will continue to seek a resolution and work hard to minimise any disruption to our customers."

Ticket-holders get no compensation during train strikes.
