Strikes daily image for 7 January
By Zoe Conway
Employment correspondent

Saturday saw yet another day of disruption for rail passengers, with workers in the RMT union continuing their latest 48-hour walkout.

Strike action from driving examiners also continues in some parts of the country.

You can read more or watch this report about why people are taking strike action, and below you can find information on how it could affect you.

Train strikes across England, Scotland and Wales

Sunday is the only strike-free day on the railways this week, but there may still be some knock-on disruption to services. That's because carriages, engines and staff may not be in the right place at the start of the day.

Rail services are not expected to get back to normal until Monday 9 January.

As things stand there are no more major rail strikes scheduled, although both the RMT and Aslef unions have warned there could be further action.

The unions are expected to meet rail employers and the rail minister on Monday to try to find a way forward.

Driving tests

Strike action by driving examiners is continuing at test centres in London, south-east England, south-west England and Wales.

The action by members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union means some practical tests will not take place, although theory tests should go ahead.

If your driving test is due to take place,, you can check here whether your test centre is affected.

However, not all examiners are members of the PCS union so your test may go ahead as planned.

Unless you are told your test is definitely cancelled, you should still turn up.

The strike by driving examiners is scheduled to continue until Tuesday 10 January.

If your test is cancelled because of the strike, the DVSA will automatically rebook your test for you.
