Commuters travelling between Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, Peterborough and London have been warned to expect disruption as railway workers strike for better conditions across the country.
The RMT along with TSSA and Unite have balloted their members for strike action which is due to take place today, Thursday August 18 and Saturday August 20. This will impact services in England and Scotland due to Network Rail signallers involvement.
Network Rail have warned passengers to only travel if absolutely necessary and it is understood that passengers travelling on the East Coast Main line will suffer from a reduced service. They say that trains will only operate between the hours of 07.30am and 6.30pm on both days.
