What you need to know about travelling with Southeastern today, as RMT rail workers go on strike leading to service changes and cancellations.
Today, July 29, RMT staff are taking industrial action, affecting a number of rail services operating in London including Southeastern.
Southeastern has advised its customers that it will be running a limited service today, with some lines completely closed and others running a limited timetable.
Today only 58 of the 180 Southeastern stations will be open on the strike day.
Passengers are advised to check before they travel, with some services starting later and finishing earlier and services likely to be busier than normal.
Southeastern are also warning customers that they may not be able to board trains during busy periods, with a queueing service expected to be in place at some of its stations.
Here’s everything you need to know:
