Railway services across the next two days are set to be heavily disrupted as a result of more industrial action by railway unions.
The RMT union has announced strike action that will affect rail services on Saturday 2 September, and Aslef has announced strike action for Friday 1 September.
It means that services going to and from Cornwall will be severely disrupted or non-running in many cases.
The night riviera sleeper service on Thursday, August 31 is also cancelled.
GWR have confirmed details of which services will run.
