Train services are being hit by more strike action, with only a couple of routes still running through Bristol today (Friday, May 12). Members of Aslef and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at train operators will walk out in long-running disputes on Friday and Saturday respectively.
GWR says "an extremely limited service will operate" today and tomorrow, and even those running will only operate between the hours of 7.30am and around 6.30pm. In Bristol, trains are only running on the Cardiff to Temple Meads line and London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads.
Live departure and arrival boards show that there are no trains stopping in or out of Bristol Parkway today, nor at most of the smaller stations on the Severn Beach Line including Avonmouth, Montpelier, Shirehampton, Redland, Clifton Down and Sea Mills. A note on National Rail's website states for each of these: "This station has no service today because of industrial action."
