It rounds off three days of disruption on the UK's railways, with strikes also taking place on Thursday, and walkouts happening on the London tube network yesterday, largely over pay and job security.
Sunday morning train services will also be affected by the knock-on effect of Saturday's action.Unions have been calling for Transport Secretary Grant Shapps to return to the negotiating table to make improved offers on pay, and offer guarantees that no jobs will be lost, amid reports of proposed modernisation cuts throughout the network.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said:"Despite his denials, Mr Shapps has clearly been dictating how the train companies should conduct negotiations with RMT, and now he's ordering them to fire and re-hire workers. "Instead of threatening to cut thousands of safety-critical jobs, introducing driver-only trains, closing ticket offices, bailing out the private rail companies as well as bringing in more anti-union laws, the government and the employers should enter meaningful negotiations with RMT.
"We are continuing to engage with Network Rail and talks are ongoing. We hope the gap between us can soon be closed. But following more comments from the transport secretary this morning, it seems to us that Grant Shapps is willing to talk to everyone apart from our reps.
