Members of the drivers’ union Aslef at 16 train operators in England will walk out.
Rail passengers face fresh disruption on Wednesday because of another strike by train drivers in a bitter, long-running dispute over pay and conditions.
Operators warning of no services include Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Northern, Southeastern and TransPennine Express.The union said train companies have always failed to employ enough drivers to provide a proper service. “Train drivers, perfectly reasonably, want to be able to buy now what they could buy four years ago.”
A spokesperson for the Rail Delivery Group said: “There is a deal on the table for Aslef that would take average driver salaries to £65,000 for a four-day week – that’s more than double the average UK salary and many drivers top up their income further by working overtime. “This isn’t just costing taxpayers, it’s costing businesses eye-watering sums, and all because Aslef’s leadership refuse to discuss much-needed changes to ways of working.
“It means giving our customers more reliable train services when they actually want to use them – particularly on Sundays. That is how any industry survives and thrives.”
