The third day of industrial action is taking place on East Midlands Trains services between Nottingham and Norwich - which runs through Peterborough - and between Peterborough and Lincoln on Saturday (August 3).

The strikes are due to a dispute over contractual issues.

A fourth day of industrial action has now been planned for Saturday, August 17.
