Another weekend is being disrupted by train drivers' strikes
Rail passengers face fresh travel chaos on Friday because of another strike by drivers in the long-running dispute over pay, which will cripple services across the country.
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. “This shows how the contempt in which the companies, and the Government, hold passengers and staff and public transport in Britain.” “The offer would increase the average driver base salary for a 4-day week without overtime from £60,000 to nearly £65,000 by the end of 2023.
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: “After taxpayers supported rail workers throughout the pandemic, it’s frustrating to see both Aslef and RMT coordinate their strikes with the aim of causing as much disruption as possible on the last weekend of the summer holidays.
