The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) has confirmed its members will strike on 5, 7 and 9 November.

The RMT has also announced strike action for Avanti West Coast train managers on 6 November, which is expected to bring further disruption.

Some members of the TSSA union will also be striking on 4 November.

In separate disputes, members of the RMT working for London Underground and Overground (Arriva Rail London) will strike on 10 November.

Travellers are also being warned of possible disruption on each day after a strike - and to keep checking with train firms for timetable updates.

The strikes over jobs, pay and conditions first started in June amid warnings the industrial campaign will continue until a deal is reached.

October has been the hardest-hit period of disruption so far.
