Information on what is likely to run if the strikes go ahead and what to do if you can't travel is now online at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/2010/dispute.html

The level of service will vary massively from route to route, many long distance Intercity journeys may still be possible but many short regional ones won't. It depends how much has been invested in modern automated signalling equipment - politicians of all parties please note!!

Advance ticket holders should read the conditions carefully, especially if they were intending to use East Coast. Off-Peak ticket holders should bear in mind that if they change travel dates the peak hour restrictions will still apply.
