If you're travelling by train today, check your journey as thousands of train drivers from the Aslef union are walking out. Around 40% of trains will be running but there will be wide regional variations, with some operators running no services at all.
There will be a limited service on Friday due to the RMT industrial action.
An RDG spokesperson said: ‘The upcoming rail strikes called by the Aslef and RMT leadership will not only affect our passengers' daily commute, but will also impact those travelling to and from the FA Cup final and other events across the country, causing disappointment and frustration for tens of thousands of people.
‘We understand the impact of these strikes on individuals and businesses alike, and we can only apologise for this unnecessary and damaging disruption.Members are striking over a long-running dispute with pay and working conditions ‘Passengers with Advance tickets can be refunded fee-free if the train that the ticket is booked for is cancelled, delayed or rescheduled.’Officials say support for industrial action remains strong among workers as well as the public.Both unions claim the Government is preventing the train companies making an acceptable offer, which ministers deny.
