We expect Friday night and Saturday to be very busy as families head off for half-term breaks and then Monday evening to be hectic as people come back from long weekends and day trips."
Britain faces mass strike action over cuts
Thousands of Network Rail workers are prepared to strike on Monday and Tuesday in a row over pay. Talks between the company and the RMT and TSSA unions are expected to continue into Saturday. But even if a resolution is found, it may be too late to reverse all of the cancellations, rail companies said.
Mark Carne, chief executive of Network Rail, said the strike had been "deliberately timed" to cause "maximum disruption to families trying to enjoy the half-term break and millions more returning to work after the bank holiday".
"I find it deplorable that the RMT can hold the travelling public to ransom in this way," he said.
Mick Cash, the RMT general secretary, said: "We would remind the public that we have been forced into this dispute through a wholly-unwarranted attack on safety-critical jobs, pay and working conditions that would seriously undermine the safety of passengers on our railways into the future."
