Members of Aslef at nine train companies will walk out for 24 hours
Rail passengers will face more disruption on Saturday due to strikes by train drivers. More industrial action is planned in the coming weeks amid the worsening disputes over jobs, pay and conditions.
The union is also balloting drivers at Chiltern Railways, Northern Trains and TransPennine Express for strikes, with the results due later this month. Steve Montgomery, chairman of the Rail Delivery Group, said: “The Aslef leadership has for the second time in as many weeks decided to impose yet more uncertainty for passengers and businesses by disrupting passengers’ weekend plans.
“While we will do all that we can to minimise disruption and to get people where they need to be, if you are going to travel on the routes affected, please plan ahead and check the latest travel advice and be aware that services may start later the morning after strikes.”Members of the RMT and TSSA unions will strike on Thursday August 18 and Saturday August 20 while industrial action will be taken on Friday August 19 by London Underground and London bus drivers.
