RMT strike on the railways damaging services

This dispute has gone on too long and it is not only causing disarray in people's lives, but it is harming the economy too.

He is particularly reliant on trains for travel this weekend, as he is not allowed to drive, because his doctor suspects he may have epilepsy.

There has been widespread disruption on the railways this year, with the RMT union taking action at Network Rail and 14 train companies. The RMT's previous strikes have had a major impact on services throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

We have got to reinforce our needs and other people's needs by taking the action we're taking, and that's the only way we've got at this moment in time. Who is going on strike and when?
