Planned train strikes will affect hundreds of thousands of spectators travelling to events on Saturday such as the FA Cup final and the Epsom Derby.

Train drivers’ union Aslef is on strike on Wednesday at 13 train companies, meaning several operators such as Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Northern, and Thameslink are running no trains.
