Rail strikes are set to cause further havoc today when train drivers walk out ahead of high-profile events including the FA Cup final, the Epsom Derby and a Beyonce concert.
Members of the Aslef union are taking industrial action in the long-running dispute over pay and working conditions.Manchester United and Manchester City supporters heading to Wembley Stadium for the grand finale to the football season are advised not to travel by train and drive instead - likely meaning heavy traffic on the roads.
Some 90,000 supporters are expected at the ground for the first all-Manchester final in FA Cup history, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm so not to clash with the Epsom Derby 90 minutes earlier. Saturday's disruption will also hit those attending the England vs Ireland test match at Lord's and Beyonce's Renaissance tour date at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Rail Delivery Group said only around 40% of trains will run, with regional variations meaning there would be no services running whatsoever in some areas.
