How services in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will be affected by rail strikes
Rail passengers are facing days of disruption with one of the largest rail strikes of the last decade.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) confirmed earlier this month that workers would stage mass walk-outs in a row over pay and conditions, with more than a dozen operators taking part.
It is estimated that more than 50,000 workers will take part in the action, with cancellations and reduced services set to cause havoc for commuters.
Operators are urging passengers to avoid travelling on their services.
The roads are expected to be more heavily congested as a result of the strikes.
When are the strikes happening?
The strikes will take place on Tuesday, 21, Thursday, 22, and Saturday 25 June. The few trains that will be operating will only run from 7.30am to 6.30pm.
Around 60% of services will run on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with trains starting later and terminating earlier.

Here are the services that will be running in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire:
