Train Strikes - Travelling on the day between strikes
Discussion
With the Christmas Party season nearly upon us, I've noticed that my works do is on the day between the December RMT strikes - event is the 15th, Strikes are 13-14th and 16-17th.
Does anyone have experience of travel on the day in between strikes? Clearly they do it like that to maximise disruption over the 5 days while only striking for 4, and I'm concerned mainly about being left stranded of an evening with no services running.
Do services end early on the day in between a strike? I'd probably be looking at a £200 Taxi/Uber ride if I ended up stuck - assuming I could find one.
I generally avoid train travel completely when the strikes are on - so I have no experience at all with how bad things really are on the day between.

Thanks for all the input guys - I think I might forego the drinking element, but go along for the event/food part an not take a chance by driving.
My expectation was it would be risky, and there is too high a chance I might get stranded (for me anything greater than zero chance is too high!)
I'm sure my liver will thank me for the break.
