Those planning to travel by train this weekend could see disruptions to their journey once again as further strikes take place by rail workers.
Saturday, March 18, will see members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) walk out at 14 train operators, with services also expected to be disrupted on Sunday morning. The strikes are the latest in a long-running dispute over pay and working conditions, with more planned on March 30 and April 1.
The industrial action means that trains are due to start later and finish earlier than usual on Saturday, typically between 7.30am and 6.30pm. It's expected that between 40% and 50% of train services will run with varying impacts across the country, with some areas set to have no services running at all, according to PA.
