The next round of national rail strikes are well under way… as many commuters might have already noticed.

The latest industrial action is part of a longer dispute over pay and working arrangements that started back in June 2022 and has seen most of the transport unions declare strike action at some point since.

While strikes have already taken place on May 31 and June 2, the strike planned for today – Saturday, June 3 – is expected to bring the most disruption, as it clashes with the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium and the Epsom Derby.

When will today’s strike end and will trains be back to normal by Sunday?

How long will the train strike last this Saturday?
