The strike coincides with the Tory Party conference in Manchester
Aslef said the action would “force the train operating companies to cancel all services and the ban on overtime will seriously disrupt the network”.
He said: “An average salary of a train driver today is £60,000 for a 35-hour, four-day week. The pay offer that is on the table, if it was accepted, would take that to a £65,000 a year salary for a four-day, 35-hour week – I think most people would think that is quite reasonable.”
