Was planning to travel to Edinburgh on the 26th Sept, but following the announcement of the 24 hr strike planned for noon that day, i changed my journey to the 25th Sept. I have just noticed that tickets are still available for 26th/27th Sept on Trainline. Are the rail companies confident of putting on these services? Have I jumped too soon and would have been OK to leave my travel plans in place? TIA

    As I understand it, the 26 September strike is by salaried TSSA members rather than the RMT or ASLEF, which I believe is seen as likely to be less disruptive given the roles involved, so I suspect that the expectation will be trains running that day, perhaps not 100% but certainly not 0% either....
