Who is on strike today and how does it affect you? March 18 update

Rail traffic is again hit by strikes.

Rail, Shipping and Transport Union (RMT) members at rail operators will pull out on Saturday in a long-running row over pay, jobs and conditions.

Many operators only run trains for limited hours.

Those not involved in the dispute won’t see any major impact, but their services could be busier than normal due to timetable cuts elsewhere.
