Travelling today? Brace yourself. Britain won’t be getting anywhere fast as the next round of train strikes continue.

Thousands of staff that are part of the RMT (Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers) Union will strike today (Saturday, March 18), following Wednesday’s walk-out by tube drivers and Thursday’s earlier RMT strike.

In early March, The RMT released a statement saying that the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) had invited them to fresh talks, but only on the basis that upcoming strikes be cancelled – as such, they had decided the industrial action would continue.

Strike action is also planned for March 30, as well as April 1 (though subject to change during negotiations).

So which train lines are affected today and will any trains run?
