Some parts of the country will have no trains at all, others will see severe reductions
Train services will be crippled on Friday because of another strike by drivers in the long-running dispute over pay. Services will be severely affected, starting later and finishing earlier than usual, with some areas having no trains all day.
Both unions blame the Government for blocking any chance of a deal by refusing to allow train operators to make an offer they can recommend to their members. Ministers deny they are intervening in the dispute. The 16 companies affected include: Avanti West Coast; Chiltern Railways; c2c; CrossCountry; East Midlands Railway; Greater Anglia; GTR Great Northern Thameslink; Great Western Railway; Island Line; LNER; Northern Trains; Southeastern; Southern/Gatwick Express; South Western Railway; TransPennine Express; and West Midlands Trains.
“The Government appears happy to let passengers – and businesses – suffer in the mistaken belief that they can bully us into submission. They don’t care about passengers – or Britain’s railway – but they will not break us. Train drivers at these companies have not had a pay rise for four years – since 2019 – while inflation has rocketed.
