GREATER Anglia is urging people to avoid travelling on its trains this Saturday due to further disruptions amid strike action.

More than 90 per cent of the train provider’s services will not run on Saturday as members of train drivers’ union ASLEF undertake a 24-hour strike.

There will be no regional or branch line services on Saturday, while other services will be dramatically reduced.

The Colchester to London Liverpool Street service will have reduced hours and “significantly fewer” trains, with later start and earlier finish times than normal.

The last train back from London to Colchester will be at 10.30pm, and there will be no rail replacement buses to replace trains not running.

There will be no trains running on the services between Marks Tey and Sudbury, Harwich Town to Manningtree, Clacton to Colchester and Colchester Town to Colchester.

Sunday services will start later in the morning than usual as the 24-hour strike has a knock-on effect into the next day, Greater Anglia stated.

Jamie Burles, Greater Anglia managing director, said he “strongly advises” passengers to make alternative arrangements.

He added: “We are very sorry for the disruption this strike causes our customers. Work is continuing at an industry level to try to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.”
