ASLEF rail union announced a fresh round of strikes and overtime ban today in its members’ long-running pay dispute.
Train drivers will take part in a rolling programme of one-day strikes from January 30 to February 5 and ban overtime for nine days from January 29.
The union said it wanted to put pressure on “intransigent” train operating firms as well as the “tone-deaf” Tory government to give train drivers their first pay rise in almost five years.
