Commuters and other train users are in for a further bout of miserable travel after unions announced strike action for July and August.
Mass walkouts organised by the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) will impact Network Rail and 14 train operating companies, bringing services to their knees for at least three days across July and August.
Two more unions are also joining the summer of disruption, meaning tricky journeys for those commuting to work or trying to move around Britain during the warmer months.
