Jamie Burles, Greater Anglia managing director, said: “While the vast majority of services will be running as normal this Saturday, unfortunately passengers will face some cancellations across our network, due to industrial action short of a strike. We therefore advise customers to plan ahead and check before they travel.
“We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by these service alterations.
“The rail industry is working hard to resolve these disputes and talks will continue with ASLEF and RMT to try and reach an agreement.”
