Exactly that. Where do I look, now, to see if I can get from Waterloo to Southampton on 9th December with this train strike? Do they release the revised timetables now?

On line will tell you. The strike is going ahead with some stations not being serviced and buses running.

Our experience of South Western Trains when they are on strike is that rather than there being no trains there is just complete chaos and no such thing as a revised timetable. We are pretty much at their mercy here but have always managed to get to our destination without too much delay. Good luck with your journey, we aren’t looking forward to December train travel either!

Unfortunately, any information they put out now will not be relevant by 9 December.

According to the ticket office at Southampton Station when I enquired one day last week there will be one 10 carriage train an hour to Waterloo during the strike.
Of course as others have said, it probably won't be that straight forward.

I’m wondering if we will be able to get home from London on the Monday 9th. ?

Well if the information I was given doesn't change you should be ok, but things could change. We are travelling on Dec 17th but I think we may book a coach.

It's a bit early to find out at the moment. More information will appear nearer the time.
