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 some disruption on national rail routes and services may also be disrupted by knock-on effects on the days prior to and following the strikes. We expect that the London Underground (Tube) will be running but may be busier than usual.
Upcoming exams
Please note: exams are going ahead as usual
- You will be permitted late entry up to 45 minutes after the start of your examination, with no additional time given.
- If you are later than 45 minutes or unable to attend your exam, you must follow the Extenuating Circumstances process.
