The UK's next rail strikes look set to cause disruption to the London Marathon. The Aslef union has announced train drivers at 12 operators will walk out in a dispute over pay on October 1 and again on October 5.
The first strike is just one day before the London Marathon, when tens of thousands of runners - many raising money for good causes - are to descend on the capital. The services to be affected were listed as:
• Avanti West Coast
• Chiltern Railways
• CrossCountry
• Greater Anglia
• Great Western Railway
• Hull Trains
• LNER
• London Overground
• Northern Trains
• Southeastern
• TransPennine Express
• West Midlands Trains
