Rail Stock
LIVE – Updated at 08:32
Rail passengers face a third consecutive day of disruption on Thursday because of a strike by train drivers which will again cripple services.
Members of Aslef at LNER, TransPennine Express and Northern Trains are walking out for the day following similar action over the past two days at other operators.
LNER will run more than 40 services between London, Edinburgh and West Yorkshire, equivalent to around a quarter of its usual timetable.
Aslef members at 16 train operators are continuing with a week-long ban on overtime which will also cause disruption to services until the weekend.
The Gatwick Express is not running due to the strike action.
Elsewhere on the travel network there is heavy traffic on M25 anticlockwise from J27 M11 to J25 A10 (Enfield) due to closed lane on the motorway.
