National rail strikes will continue this weekend with millions of passengers set to face cancellations and disruptions. Last week, strike action by both the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) and Aslef union took place on Saturday, October 1.
So far this week, there have been three days of industrial action - Wednesday, October 5, Thursday, October 6, and Friday, October 7. Industrial action is also set to take place on Saturday, October 8.
Passengers are advised to plan ahead and check online planners before travelling on Saturday, as the majority of train services across the Wales and Borders network will not run that day. 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.
