Many
train
operators
are
running
more
trains
today,

after
their
timetables
were
slashed
in
expectation
of
strikes
on
Saturday,
today
and
Wednesday.
But
others
are
warning
that
service
reductions
will
continue
for
now.

The
RMT
cancelled
the
walkouts
on
Friday
afternoon
because
talks
with
Network
Rail
and
the
operators
are
now
said
to
be
progressing.

However,
it
is
taking
several
days
to
restore
all
normal
services,
which
some
operators
say
is
mainly
because
of
the
complexity
of
rearranging
rosters.

Among
individual
operators,
Transport
for
Wales
is
expecting
to
run
most
services
from
this
morning,
although
some
local
disruption
has
not
been
ruled
out.
Greater
Anglia
is
promising
a
full
timetable
from
today,
and
so
is
Merseyrail,
while
ScotRail
is
expecting
to
restore
all
services
from
tomorrow.

Govia
Thameslink
is
not
expecting
to
be
back
to
normal
until
Wednesday,
while
the
recovery
is
slower
on
Northern,
which
said:
‘We
are
working
up
a
plan
to
run
a
fuller
service
on
Wednesday.’
TransPennine
Express
is
also
hoping
to
run
more
trains
from
Wednesday,
and
so
is
Chiltern
Railways.

GWR
has
been
unable
to
say
when
all
its
trains
will
run
again,
but
warned
disruption
will
be
continuing
today.
West
Midlands
Railway
services
are
also
still
reduced,
and
WMR
has
not
yet
said
when
full
timetables
will
be
restored.

LNER
said
that
its
reduced
timetables
will
continue,
saying
only:
‘Due
to
the
late
notice
of
these
cancelled
strikes,
there
will
be
limited
changes
to
the
planned
reduced
timetables.’

Southeastern
said
its
strike-day
timetables
will
continue
to
apply,
along
with
‘limited
changes
to
the
planned
reduced
timetables’.
South
Western
Railway
services
will
also
be
limited
today,
but
SWR
said
it
could
confirm
that
full
services
would
be
restored
from
Wednesday.

Avanti
West
Coast
had
been
running
a
reduced
service
in
any
case,
and
it
has
also
been
unable
to
predict
details
of
its
service
levels,
saying
only
that
it
will
still
be
providing
only
a
limited
‘strike
day’
timetable
today
and
on
Wednesday.

Avanti
told
its
passengers:
‘We’re
currently
working
hard
to
rebuild
our
timetable
in
a
resilient
and
sustainable
way
that
will
allow
us
to
gradually
increase
services
without
being
reliant
on
traincrew
overtime,
which
has
fallen
dramatically
in
recent
weeks.

‘As
a
result,
our
upcoming
timetables
are
being
amended
on
a
rolling
basis
and
will
be
confirmed
at
shorter
notice
than
usual.
While
the
timetable
is
available
on
our
website
and
app,
some
services
are
still
subject
to
change
or
will
not
operate
at
all.
We
know
we’re
not
delivering
the
service
you
rightly
expect
and
we’re
sorry
for
the
enormous
frustration
and
inconvenience
this
is
causing.
We’d
like
to
thank
you
for
your
continued
patience
and
understanding.’

After
the
strikes
had
been
called
off,
the
Rail
Delivery
Group
had
said:
‘It
is
positive
that
the
RMT
leadership
have
stepped
back
from
the
brink
and
called
off
their
strike
action.
Unfortunately,
the
late
notice
means
that
while
train
companies
are
working
hard
to
reinstate
services,
they
will
remain
severely
disrupted
for
our
passengers
tomorrow
and
into
the
early
part
of
next
week.’
