Greater Anglia cancels 90% of trains on Saturday over strike
A strike by train drivers has caused disruption to services operated by Greater Anglia in The East of England.
Members of the ASLEF union are staging their; the latest 24-hour walk-out is again about a dispute over pay.
Passengers are being warned they will struggle to get to London on Saturday.
Greater Anglia 's Jonathan Denby said a minimal service was operating between Norwich and the capital, with only six trains running each way.
Last trains would end earlier than normal at 21:30 GMT.
Sunday services would start later in The Morning than usual due to the 24-hour strike, and no regional or branch lines will be operating, The Company said.
" The impact of a strike by train drivers is always going to be quite severe, " said Mr Denby.
" Again we apologise for that. The advice is to avoid travelling if at all possible and to look for alternatives.
" Clearly We Are looking to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. "
Nigel Gibson from ASLEF said his members have not had a pay rise since April 2019.
" We believe Working People deserve a pay rise to maintain the cost of living increase, " He Said .
" Our members who work for Greater Anglia currently are on between £38,000 and £52,000 - despite what The Transport minister says in relation to average earnings for train drivers, "
Mr Gibson said he expected other unions to carry out further strikes after a ballot result returns next month.
Greater Anglia services to London operate through the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Essex.
