Merseyrail, Northern and Avanti latest advice before Saturday train strike

The country's railway network will be hit with disruption on Saturday (October 8) as workers go out on strike.

PA reports that only about 20% of normal train services across the country will run on Saturday, according to Network Rail. Around half of the network will be closed all day and trains will only operate between 7.30am and 6.30pm.

More than 40,000 members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at Network Rail and 15 train operating companies will walk out on Saturday in a row over jobs, pay and conditions. Services will start later than normal on Sunday morning as workers return to duties.
