Today with the London Underground strike on, Chiltern aren't operating the services via Amersham.
However, there is an Aylesbury via High Wycombe service plus the Risborough shuttles as normal. Despite this, Aylesbury Vale Parkway, Stoke Mandeville, Wendover and Great Missenden, all on Network Rail lines, are totally unserved.
Why does Chiltern not operate a connectional shuttle service on the part of the route unaffected so people can change at Aylesbury for services via Wycombe, and potentially extend the via HW services back to AVP if the diagrams fit? It's not like this would be strike-breaking, because that part of their network has no connection whatsoever with the striking LU workers.
It strikes me that they have taken a lazy option that they need not have taken.
