Jamie Burles, Greater Anglia managing director, said the firm was sorry for "inconvenience and disruption" the strikes were causing its customers.

"These strikes coincide with the Latitude Festival in Suffolk, the start of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and the start of the Football League season, with many of our local teams due to play," he said.

"Negotiations are continuing and we hope an agreement with the unions can be reached soon."

Greater Anglia said passengers can find out about train timetables on strike days on its website.
