Rugby fans heading to Twickenham today face travel misery as workers at two of the biggest rail operators in the country support a fresh strike.
Saturday's strike is the latest in the long-running dispute over guards on trains and will affect fans travelling to watch England play against Japan as well as shoppers heading to Manchester's festive markets.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union on South Western Railway (SWR) and Arriva Rail North (Northern) mounted picket lines outside stations across the country.
The RMT union dispute will affect South Western and Arriva Rail North services and fans heading to Twickenham
Northern said only 30% of its services will run while both companies will lay on bus replacements on parts of their network.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: 'RMT members are standing determined and united again this morning on both Northern and South Western Railway in the long-running fight for safety, security and access on our trains while the private train companies gamble with their passengers' well-being.
'This action comes as the political cheerleader of the driver-only train operational model, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, weighs up his own self interest and a possible resignation from the collapsing May Government.
'It's time for both these companies to stop taking instructions from the Government, get out of the bunker and start talking seriously and positively with the union on the issue of the guard guarantee instead of gambling with public safety as they pump up their profits.
'We thank the public for their continuing support and understanding that these disputes are all about safety and passenger service on Britain's increasingly violent and dangerous railways.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
