Avanti West Coast said: “We’re looking at how this industrial action will impact our services and we’ll confirm our plans as soon as possible.

“In the meantime, to minimise the number of people disrupted, we’ve suspended ticket sales for these dates.

“We’ll share travel advice, refund information and ticket options as soon as these are finalised.”

An RMT spokesperson said: “Our members have resoundingly rejected Avanti’s latest offers in two referendums and sustained strike action is now the only way to focus management’s minds on reaching a negotiated settlement with the union.”
