There's another rail strike tomorrow - once again, people are advised not to travel.
Talks with rail bosses continued on Friday but a deal has still not been reached.
The RMT's view remains that the key stumbling block to the negotiations is the lack of written commitment that no one will be forced out of their job. Among the disrupted services are the Heathrow Express line taking travellers to London's busiest airport - which is also facing theTrain journeys across Britain will primarily be restricted to main lines and these limited services will only run between 07:30 and 18:30. Some of the largest seaside resorts, including Bournemouth, Blackpool and Llandudno, will have no services at all.
The strikes have been estimated to have cost the rail industry up to £150m in lost revenue and caused the abandonment of some planned upgrade works.RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said the members on strike were "leading the way in standing up for all working people trying to get a pay rise and some job security".
The government has said it is the responsibility of the unions and rail companies to solve the dispute and denied being involved in them or causing any delays to negotiations. Network Rail - with whom the RMT are negotiating alongside the rail operators - also said it was the union, not the government, which had stalled negotiations.
