Brits are preparing for a week of travel chaos starting on Saturday, as thousands of rail operators walk out in strike action.
On 4, 7 and 9 November this week workers at 14 train operating companies will down tools, bringing the country to a screeching halt.
Among operators striking on Saturday include Govia Thameslink Railway, which includes the Gatwick Express, and South Eastern and Western Railways.
On 10 November there will be separate strikes on the London Overground and Underground as Arriva Rail London workers walk out.
5, 7 and 9 November strikes were called by the RMT Union, who are taking action over conditions and pay.
It said the industry is “working hard to minimise the effect” strikes will have on services but “it is inevitable that services will be cancelled or severely disrupted. It is likely that there will be a very limited service on these days with no services at all on some routes.”
It also said on days after the strike, Sunday 6 November, Tuesday 8 and Thursday 10, “services will also start later than usual in the morning.”
On Saturday, the London Overground is also set to have a severely reduced service.
