More train strikes will take place across the country in September, as trade unions and rail bosses struggle to come to an agreement on a long-drawn out pay dispute for workers.
Union leaders are asking for a reasonable pay boost in line with inflation and the rising cost of living, with the RMT suggesting all that has been offered so far is a real terms pay cut. 12 train-operating companies will be affected by the strikes, including East Midlands Railway, London North Eastern Railway and Northern Trains – all of which run services through Lincolnshire.
The operator has also wanted that services on the Friday and Sunday, in-between strike action days, will also be affected. For more information,London North Eastern Railway has announced that it will be providing provisional timetables for the strike action from Friday, September 9 – finalising changes to impacted services.
