RAIL services are set for massive disruption on Wednesday as train drivers at 15 companies walk out over pay once again.
And Aslef members at several firms, including Avanti West Coast, Northern Trains and Southeastern, will also strike on Saturday, which will affect travel to the men’s FA Cup final at Wembley.
The long-running dispute comes amid a four-year wage freeze for most of the workforce, despite 40-year-high CPI inflation that has only just dipped below 10 per cent.
