Train services across North Wales are set to be impacted by strike action later this week.
Passengers are being warned that most services will be suspended during a fresh wave of strikes in the long-running dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) are taking industrial action again, following on from their strikes at the start of October.
While Transport for Wales is not striking, they are warning that their services will be severely impacted. The strikes take place on November 5, 7 and 9.

There is likely to be some disruption in the early morning of the day after each strike: Sunday, November 6, Tuesday, November 8, and Thursday, November 10 – as workers return to duties.
TfW say that they will issue an updated timetable on their website for the days of the strikes.

A Transport for Wales spokesperson said: "The National Union of Rail, Maritime, and Transport Workers (RMT) have announced strike action will take place on Saturday 5, Monday 7 and Wednesday 9 November, which will significantly disrupt the rail network across the whole of Wales, England and Scotland.
"Transport for Wales is not involved in the industrial action. However, the industrial action resulting from the dispute between the unions and Network Rail means we’ll be unable to operate rail services on Network Rail infrastructure.
"The majority of rail services across the Wales and Borders network will be suspended on 5, 7 and 9 November."
