Read our privacy policy South Western Railway staff will walk out from Friday to Monday in an ongoing row over the role of guards on trains. South Western Railway runs trains from London Waterloo – the UK’s busiest rail station – to destinations in Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire. “Our members have been left with no choice but to go ahead with a further four days of strike action on South Western Railway from Friday,” said RMT general secretary Mick Cash. “They are angry and frustrated that SWR have kicked talks into the long grass and failed to bolt down an agreement that will guarantee the role of the guard on the train.” “We have spent most of this year trying to negotiate a conclusion to this dispute.” A spokesperson for South Western Railway said: “During strike action, while services are likely be busier than usual, we will do everything we can to keep customers moving.
