Rail passengers from Dorset are advised to check before travelling to and from London Waterloo with industrial strike action set to take place next week.
From Monday, July 3 to Saturday, July 8 a reduced service will be running across the South Western Railway (SWR) network.
Services are likely to be busier than usual throughout those days affected and passangers should allow extra time for their journeys.
Journey planners will be updated with an amended timetable from Friday, June 30.
Stuart Meek, Chief Operating Officer at SWR said: “We’re sorry that customers will again face disruption due to industrial action next week. Anybody planning to travel should please check their whole journey before setting off and be aware that services are likely to be busier than usual."
The RMT union has also called nationwide strike action for three dates next month: July 20, 22, and 29.
SWR customers should expect severe disruption to train services on these dates and may wish to consider changing travel plans now if possible.
