Further train strikes will impact rail passengers this week - just days after major parts of the network were crippled by the latest round of industrial action.
Picket lines were set up across parts of the UK, including Ashford, London, Hull, Manchester and Liverpool amid disputes over jobs, pay and conditions on Saturday (August 13). Members of Aslef at nine train companies walked out, leading to rail station closures, cancellations and reduced services.
Aslef said that drivers on strike have not had a pay increase for three years. They have gained support from other trade unions, such as Unite, and Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Barry Gardiner during their action, which hit Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Greater Anglia, Great Western Railway, Hull Trains, LNER, London Overground, Southeastern and West Midlands Trains.
