With 12,000 train drivers striking on Saturday, rail services will be heavily disrupted.
Members of the drivers’ union, Aslef, are walking out for 24 hours on the majority of lines in England and some cross-border routes into Scotland and Wales, leaving only 40% of services running.
The strike will cause disruption for anyone trying to travel to the weekend’s big sporting and cultural events including the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium, the Epsom Derby and the final leg of Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour in London, as well as affecting families planning end of half-term trips.
