Train drivers will resume their strikes next month in a long-running row over pay. Drivers at 12 train operators will walk out on October 1 and 5, affecting travel to and from the Conservative party conference in Birmingham, sources told the PA news agency.
The train companies affected are Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Greater Anglia, Great Western Railway, Hull Trains, LNER, London Overground and Southeastern, West Midlands Trains, Chiltern Railways, Northern and TransPennine Express.
A planned strike by drivers on September 15 was called off as a mark of respect following the Queen’s death. The drivers’ union Aslef will not be making a public comment until after the former monarch’s funeral on Monday.
