Rail disruption: many UK train services to start late on Tuesday

Avanti West Coast to run very limited service all day despite strikes being called off

Many train services will start later than usual on Tuesday and Avanti West Coast will run a reduced timetable all day, despite the cancellation of planned strikes this week.

Three 24-hour strikes planned by railway workers for 5, 7 and 9 November were called off last Friday, as the RMT union said it would enter a period of intensive negotiations" with Network Rail and other train operators.
