Train operators have revealed details of altered services during Wednesday's rail strike - including the times of the last trains from Manchester to London and back.
Only around a fifth of normal services will run, and half of all lines will be closed. Trains will only operate between 7.30am and 6.30pm on Wednesday, and will start later than normal on Thursday.
Avanti West Coast, which runs trains from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston, said a limited service of around a quarter of the normal timetable will operate, with one train per hour in both directions between London Euston and each of Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Preston.
