British holidaymakers have received an urgent warning ahead of expected travel disruptions later on in the week.
More than 40,000 workers at Network Rail and 14 train operating companies are planning on striking in England over unresolved disputes relating to pay, jobs, and working conditions. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) will stage a walkout on Wednesday, July 27 and will likely cripple rail services across the UK.
To add onto the disruption, the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) has also announced its members at Avanti West Coast will be going on strike the same day. National Rail has warned that all train operations will likely be affected on July 27, regardless of whether they have a dispute with RMT or not, the Liverpool Echo reports.
