Should be ok tomorrow. I believe the strike is from midday Saturday to midday Sunday. According to Railway Herald the only local charter affected is Sunday's Torbay Express that I was booked on with my wife. Thanks ASLEF!!!!! It seems a lot of weekend engineering work may be hit by this strike action.
