Preventing or minimising the disruption caused by the strike
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) trade union working for Network Rail have announced that they are planning to take industrial action.
If the industrial action does go ahead it is likely to cause severe disruption to rail services. The impact will vary considerably by route. Rail passengers are strongly urged to check for the latest information on how the strike might affect their train journeys.
Disruption to rail services is likely to have a knock-on impact on the road network. The government has called on Network Rail, Highways England, TfL and local government to do all it can to keep Britain moving despite any strike action.
