Aslef said the latest strike will force train companies across England to cancel all services
Aslef general secretary, said the union did not want to take extra strike action but the train companies and the Government had “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 per cent.”
“Train drivers at these companies have not had a pay rise for four years, since 2019, while inflation has rocketed, we haven’t heard a word from the employers – we haven’t had a meeting, a phone call, a text message, or an email – since April 26 and we haven’t had any contact with the Government since January 6.
Other parts of the country will have fewer or no services at all. It is likely that evening services on some lines may be reduced on the days before and on the mornings after strike days.
