Rain services are being affected once again due to the strike.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) of train operators will stage a walkout on Saturday in a long-running dispute over wages, jobs and conditions.
Many operators will run trains only for a limited number of hours.
There will be no major impact on those not involved in the dispute, but their services may be busier than usual due to timetable cuts elsewhere.
