'Our advice remains to please check before you travel and on Saturday and Monday only travel by rail if necessary.’ Passengers have been warned rail services will be crippled today despite planned strikes being called off.

Intensive negotiations are due to get under way and industrial action is on hold for now, raising hopes that the end of a dispute which has disrupted services for months may be in sight.

Tim Shoveller, the organisations chief negotiator, admitted services will remain ‘extremely limited’ throughout Saturday. He claimed Network Rail had ‘rowed back’ on its position of only going into talks with ‘pre-conditions unilaterally set down by the company’. ‘Our re-ballot remains live and if we have to take strike action during the next six months to secure a deal, we will.’

TSSA members were due to take strike action in five different rail companies on different days over the period.
