Travelling on days in between two strike days

[trainophile]

I have tickets for journeys on both 17th March and 31st March, both of which fall between two of the recently announced strike dates.

Just checked to see whether tickets are still available, and find that there are no Advances only Anytime tickets available now. There are usually plenty of Advances right up to even the night before travel, so I can only assume they have been pulled from the system.

My concern is whether this means that they don't want people to travel on these dates, even though they are not actual strike dates. I don't want to find last minute cancellations causing me to become stranded or anything like that. Would it be wise to avoid the in-between days, or hope for the best?

Advances will have been pulled, I imagine, because the priority is to carry people who have had to rearrange their journeys.

The Signallers' strike on 16 March will cause extra disruption, but based on previous days I would expect problems till mid morning at the most; however the overtime ban might cause further problems, particularly on routes with lots of signalboxes, for your second trip.

Thank you. Got some decisions to make now. What a shame Book with Confidence is no more. I could easily travel on the following Mondays rather than the Fridays but don't want to waste my existing tickets.
