Train services will be hit with disruption once again on Friday (September 1) amid another strike by drivers in the long running dispute over pay.
Services will be severely affected, starting later and finishing earlier than usual, with some areas having no trains all day. The dispute started more than a year ago and remains deadlocked, with no talks planned and no sign of a breakthrough.
Members of the drivers union Aslef will also ban overtime on Saturday (September 2) coinciding with a strike by the Rail, Maritime and Transport union in its dispute over pay, jobs and conditions. Both unions blame the Government for blocking any chance of a deal by refusing to allow train operators to make an offer they can recommend to their members. Ministers deny they are intervening in the dispute.

The 16 companies affected include:

Mick Whelan, Aslef’s general secretary, said: “We don’t want to take this action but the train companies, and the Government which stands behind them, have forced us into this place because they refuse to sit down and talk to us and have not made a fair and sensible pay offer to train drivers who have not had one for four years – since 2019 – while prices have soared in that time by more than 12%.
