Train services are being hit by strike action again.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) Union of train operators will walk out on Saturday in a long-running dispute over wages, jobs and conditions.
Many operators will only run trains during limited hours.
Those not involved in the dispute will not see a major impact, but their services could be busier than normal due to schedule cuts elsewhere.
