Commuters are to expect severe disruption if they are travelling by rail on Saturday October 1 as members of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) have agreed to go on strike.
The strike action will last 24-hours on October 1 but previous days of action by the union showed that services could be impacted on the day before and after the strike takes place.
RMT say that the decision was made after the union failed to receive any further offers for better job security, pay or working conditions from rail bosses. Railway workers on Network Rail and 14 other train operating companies will be taking part in the action.
