A 24-hour strike is expected to cause disruption on some of the UK's main railway lines on New Year's Eve. A walkout by Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) members will see delays and cancellations on South Western Railway (SWR) and CrossCountry networks. The union says it is striking over concerns about rosters, Sunday working and guards on trains. The government has accused the union of causing 'misery' for passengers.
