Greater Anglia is planning to run a full service if two 24-hour strike days called by the RMT union go ahead on Tuesday and Thursday next week. (October 3 and 5).
The RMT strike is over a dispute about the role of guards on new trains that will have driver operated doors. Currently, 40pc of Greater Anglia trains have conductors, who close trian doors and offer customer assistance.
Great Anglia says passengers should not notice a change to their service, as they have made arrangements to run trains as normal.

The union believes guards must operate the doors to ensure passenger safety but Greater Anglia and railway safety bodies say they are satisfied drivers can close the doors without risk.
