All services within Scotland look to be disrupted from 1200 Wednesday 7th as NR supervisory and signalling staff belonging to the RMT Union plan a 48-hour walk out.

While NR is still negotiating to avert the strike, emergency plans have yet to be finalised but emergency timetables and further information has been published here for First ScotRail, GNER, Virgin Cross Country and Virgin West Coast services which will be "severely" disrupted.

It says, "as a precaution First ScotRail have withdrawn sleeper reservations for Wednesday 7 March and Thursday 8 March in both directions and daytime reservations for all of their services on Wednesday 7, Thursday 8 and Friday 9 March."

This means that Caledonian Sleeper services won't be running on Wednesday 7th or Thursday 8th March. Also, it is worth noting that as this affects 3 long distance operators, it is possible that disruption could Domino south of the border.
