RAIL passengers are advised to check in advance of journeys because of two 48-hour strikes on May 6 and 7 and 27 and 28.

Virgin Trains said its West Coast Main Line trains between Glasgow and London would run near normally at 85 per cent of the usual service.

However the cross-county service from Glasgow and Edinburgh down to Birmingham, the South Coast and the South West would be very limited.
