It will be the eighth day of action taken by the union over pay and conditions.
Passengers should avoid travelling by train unless absolutely necessary on Saturday due to expected widespread disruption from strikes, the rail industry has said.Only a fifth of trains are set to run on Saturday, with services starting late and finishing early.This is the eighth day of action taken by the union over pay and conditions.
Passengers with advance, off-peak or anytime tickets affected by the strikes can use their ticket on Friday, or up to and including three days later, rail operators said. For example, the last direct train from Newcastle to London will leave at 13:53 and the last train from London to Nottingham will go at 16:32.
ScotRail warned of "significant disruption" to services, saying it would run "very limited" services on just three lines on the day. The government should "unshackle" the train operators, he wrote, suggesting the Department for Transport's role in the strike was blocking the path to a settlement.
