Train passengers are being warned to expect another day of disruption as the latest rail strike is scheduled to take place on Saturday 13 August.

Members of the train drivers' union ASLEF and the TSSA union have announced they will be walking out for twenty-four hours amid on-going disputes over pay and working conditions.

ASLEF said it is because firms have failed to make a pay offer which will help members keep pace with increases in the cost of living. It said the strike is a "last resort".

Travel across the ITV Border region is expected to be extremely disrupted as services are cancelled or busier than normal.
