Rail strikes are going ahead next week - here's what you need to know about disruptions - Sky News

The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) has confirmed that next week's rail and Tube strikes will go ahead. Here's what you need to know and how disruptions may affect your journey.

Only around half of Britain's rail network will be open on strike days, with very limited services running on lines, according to Network Rail.

When?

The strikes will take place on Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 June in a dispute over pay and redundancies.

The RMT and Unite unions are also taking part in industrial action which will affect the London Underground on Tuesday 21 June.

Network Rail has warned that the strikes will cause six days of disruption because of the knock-on effect on services on the days in between.

How is each line affected?
