COMMUTERS are being reassured by train operators that it will be "business as usual" on Monday, despite strike action due to take place that day.

First Capital Connect (FCC), which provides train services throughout Times Territory, has said it will do its best to cover any staff taking part in the 24-hour strike organised by the Rail, Maritime and Transports Workers' union (RMT) on September 14.

It has promised to man as many ticket offices and gates as possible, but has warned some disruption is inevitable.

This includes the likely suspension of services between Finsbury Park and Moorgate, and no services at all between 10pm Monday and 5am Tuesday.

FCC managing director Jim Morgan said: "We are doing all we can to minimise the effect of this strike and are confident we will deliver a near-normal daytime and evening service."
