Trains in Paddington station ©Chris Moos A number of strikes on the national rail networks have been announced on dates in May and June 2023. Please keep an eye on the news and be aware that your travel may be disrupted. Rail workers are due to strike on  Friday 12 May, Saturday 13 May, Wednesday 31 May  and  Saturday 3 June.  The strikes are likely to cause major disruption on a number of major rail routes and services may also be disrupted by knock-on effects on the days prior to and following the strikes. UCL will make every attempt to keep activities running for students, with student-facing staff asked to come in to work where possible. If you are coming into campus, please allow extra time to get to your destination. You can visit  Transport for London ,  National Rail  or the  Citymapper app , which might be useful for planning alternative types of transport such as bicycle and scooter hire, walking, buses etc. If you are unable to get to work using alternative transport, you should advise your line manager as early as possible.
