A fresh wave of strike action has led to a travel warning being issued to passengers.
Travellers are being urged to only travel by rail if necessary on November 5, 7 and 9. This comes after a long-running dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) are taking industrial action again, threatening more travel chaos across the country.

While ScotRail staff are not associated with these strikes, due to Network Rail staff taking part, train services across the country will be significantly disrupted. On the days surrounding the strike action, the train firm also warn that there will be delays and cancellations as signal boxes open and close at different times.
