National strikes over dispute over pay, working conditions and jobs will continue in October. Millions of passengers will face cancellations and disruptions during various dates of the month.
Last week, strike action by both the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) and Aslef union took place on Saturday, October 1. This week will see four days of industrial action and passengers are advised to plan ahead and check online planners before travelling.
Rail passengers are being warned that the majority of train services across the Wales and Borders network will not run on Wednesday, October 5, Thursday, October 6, Friday, October 7, and Saturday, October 8. Those trains that do run are likely to be much busier than usual - particularly the first services of the day. There is also expected to be disruption to services due to trains being displaced from the previous day's strike action.
