Roadworks: The Mead and Station Road

25th August, 2023/in Road Closures/by Deputy Executive Officer

We have received the following information from Hampshire Highways related to upcoming roadworks.

As part of Hampshire County Council’s programme to make Hampshire’s roads more resilient to the effects of extreme weather and heavy traffic, we will be undertaking Proactive Patching works at various locations on, Station Road, Liphook and The Mead, Liphook. The attached letters were sent out to residents this week.

The works are programmed to start at The Mead on Mon. 11 Sept. for 3 days and Station Road on Wed. 13 September for 3 days. Due to the nature of the work and for safety reasons, it is necessary to carry the work out under a road closure with a signed diversion route in place. The road will be reopened outside each working shift.

For more information visit One.Network – The Mead https://one.network/?GB135175232

– Station Road https://one.network/?GB135175037

Whilst there is an allowance within the time periods shown above for delays, there may be times when we must postpone works at very short notice; based on the latest weather forecasts, this can occur just prior to works commencing. We will always look to provide up to date information wherever we can, but sometimes these last-minute decisions can be difficult to relay to the travelling public in a timely manner. When we can, any significant changes to the scheduled dates will be made clear on the yellow sign boards located at the works limits.

Information signs advising road users of the works will be erected before the start of works. Letters have been sent to local residents and businesses, to advise them accordingly.

SOUTH Western Railway (SWR) has confirmed its services during industrial action by the ASLEF union and strike action by the RMT union in July.

Between Monday 17 and Wednesday 19 July, a nationwide ban on overtime by members of the ASLEF union will mean a reduced service across the SWR network.

Services will usually be reduced to hourly in off-peak periods, with a small number of cancellations during the evening peaks. Some first and last trains may also be cancelled. Customers are advised to check before travelling.

On Thursday 20 July, nationwide strike action by members of the RMT union will mean a significantly reduced service will operate on a limited number of lines. Trains will only operate between the hours of 0700 and 1900, with last trains departing at around 1700. Customers are advised to only travel if absolutely necessary.

Following the strike action on Thursday 20, train services will start later than usual, at around 0730, on Friday 21 July. A reduced timetable will again operate due to the continuing overtime ban by members of the ASLEF union. Customers should check before travelling.

On Saturday 22 July, nationwide strike action by members of the RMT union will again mean a significantly reduced service on a limited number of lines. Trains will only operate between the hours of 0700 and 1900, with last trains departing at around 1700. Customers are advised to only travel if absolutely necessary.

A normal Sunday timetable will operate on Sunday 23 July however a small number of services will be cancelled due to RMT strike action on the previous day. Customers should check before travelling as engineering work will also take place.

Services on Saturday 29 July will be announced in due course, however, SWR can confirm a significantly reduced service will operate and is likely to be similar to the service on Saturday 22. Trains will only operate between the hours of 0700 and 1900, with last trains departing at around 1700. Customers will be advised to only travel if absolutely necessary.

On the Island Line, an hourly service will operate between Monday 17 and Saturday 22 July. On Saturday 22, an hourly service will operate, ending at around 2100.

Stuart Meek, Chief Operating Officer at South Western Railway, commented:

“We’re sorry that customers will again face disruption due to industrial action by the ASLEF union and strike action by the RMT union.

“Anybody planning to travel on days affected by the ASLEF union’s industrial action should check their whole journey before they set off and be aware that services are likely to be busier than usual.

“As with the last ASLEF overtime ban, instead of making numerous short-notice amendments and cancellations to our standard timetable, we will operate an amended timetable that we have a high degree of confidence we can reliably and safely deliver. We hope this will give our customers greater certainty when planning their journeys.

“On days of strike action by the RMT union we are sorry to ask that customers should only travel if absolutely necessary. We have worked hard to improve our service offering during RMT strike action and are pleased to confirm that we will operate services to and from Ascot on Thursday 20.”

South Western Railway outlines services during industrial action in May

On Friday 12 May, a reduced service will operate in suburban areas and on the West of England Line, with no service on the Island Line
On Saturday 13 May, a significantly reduced service will operate on a limited number of lines, with a reduced service on the Island Line
Between Monday 15 and Saturday 20 May, close to a full timetable will operate, however a reduced service will operate on the Island Line

SOUTH Western Railway (SWR) has outlined its services during industrial action on Friday 12, Saturday 13 and between Monday 15 and Saturday 20 May.

On Friday 12 May a nationwide strike by ASLEF union members will affect SWR’s network-wide depot drivers, who bring trains in and out of service, as well as drivers on the Island Line.

Contingency timetables are still to be confirmed however SWR can confirm the following service changes:

A reduced timetable will operate on suburban routes
A reduced timetable will operate on the West of England Line and in the Romsey area
There will be no services on the Island Line

Unexpected staffing challenges during the last ASLEF strike led to a number of short notice cancellations. An amended timetable is intended to prevent similar disruption and provide customers with greater certainty as to which services will run.

Full details of service changes will be confirmed as soon as possible, and customers are advised to check before travelling on Friday 12 May. Journey planners will be up to date by the end of Thursday 11 May.

On Saturday 13 May, a nationwide strike by RMT union members will severely reduce the number of trains SWR can run and the hours in which they can operate.

A reduced service will operate between 0700 and 1900 only and large parts of the network will be closed.

To support spectators travelling to the historic Army v Navy rugby fixture at Twickenham there will be additional services, both before and after the match, between London Waterloo and Windsor & Eton Riverside via Richmond.

The following routes will be served:

London Waterloo to Windsor & Eton Riverside via Hounslow – 2 trains per hour, reducing to 1 from mid-afternoon
London Waterloo to Windsor & Eton Riverside via Richmond – 2 trains per hour
London Waterloo to Woking – 4 trains per hour
London Waterloo to Basingstoke – 1 fast and 2 semi-fast trains per hour
Basingstoke to Salisbury – 1 train per hour
A reduced service on the Island Line

There will be no services on any other SWR routes. Long-planned engineering work in the Winchester area will also mean there will be no services between Basingstoke and Southampton Central, with no rail replacement bus services in operation.

Customers are advised to only travel on Saturday 13 May if their journeys are absolutely necessary. Journey planners are up to date and customers are advised if they must travel, they should check their entire journey, as strike action will affect other operators.

Between Monday 15 and Saturday 20 May, there will be a nationwide ban on non-contractual overtime by ASLEF union members, affecting SWR’s depot drivers and Island Line drivers.

With sufficient contingency depot drivers SWR expects to run close to a full timetable on the mainland, but services may be subject to short-notice delays and cancellations. A reduced service will operate on the Island Line.

This overtime ban will affect drivers at other operators, so customers are advised to check their entire journey before travelling between Monday 15 and Saturday 20 May at www.nationalrail.co.uk.
