    Third strike for South Western Railway

    550 trains axed in 24-hour strike today (31st July).

    Previous walkouts took place last Saturday and Thursday, and the remaining strikes are scheduled on 4, 11, 18, 31 August and 1 September.

    In a statement, the rail company said it was "surprised" the union had decided to call further strikes, "especially at a time when families want to be out and about enjoying the summer holidays".

    "We will continue to seek a resolution and work hard to minimise any disruption to our customers."

    Ticket-holders get no compensation during train strikes.
