Rail strikes: no trains between London and major UK cities on Saturday

Passengers urged not to travel unless necessary as service cut to 11% of normal schedule

No trains at all will run between London and Britain's biggest cities this Saturday as multiple unions combine strikes, the rail industry has confirmed.

Timetables for 1 October have been published, with the overall service cut to just 11% of the normal schedule, when Aslef, RMT and some TSSA and Unite members are walking out for 24 hours in the long-running dispute over pay.
