Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said:

I condemn any industrial action that disrupts the travelling public. Network Rail has been entirely reasonable and put a fair offer on the table and has sought further talks with the unions.

Rail passengers will not thank the unions for inflicting this chaos and disruption.

See how this industrial action may affect your rail journeys.
