Members of Aslef at 16 train operators in England are embroiled in a long-running dispute over pay.

The drivers will strike on Saturday and again next Wednesday, coinciding with the annual conference of the Conservative party in Manchester.Aslef said the strikes will force train operating companies to cancel all services while the ban on overtime will seriously disrupt the network. “Our members have not had a pay rise for four years – since 2019 – and that’s not right when prices have soared in that time.
“We are ready and willing to talk to Aslef’s leaders so we can end this damaging dispute but any talks about pay also need to address working practices that date back decades. “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.”
