Train drivers will stage a fresh wave of strikes and overtime bans in May, causing disruption to the rail network. The strikes are part of a long-running dispute over pay. Members of Aslef union at 16 rail companies will walk out on different days from 7 to 9 May. Additionally, all members will refuse to work any overtime from 6 May to 11 May. Here is a full list of the services affected by strikes and when.
People are advised to check before they travel, as some areas may have no service. How do strikes and overtime bans affect services? Strikes tend to mean services on lines where members are participating are extremely affected or cancelled entirely, whereas overtime bans often lead to reduced services. How can I stay in the loop? You can use the National Rail's journey planner to see when trains are running.
