Tis the season... to be hit with 12 days of rail strikes during the festive period.
The latest set of walkouts by RMT union members working for 14 train operators plus Network Rail kicked off this week on 13 December, with industrial action also set for 14, 16 and 17 December.
Days in between strikes also look set to be mired in disruption as reduced services and busier-than-usual trains will be par for the course.
The action continues on the eve of 24 December-27 December, and then on 3, 4, 6 and 7 January.
