Train drivers at LNER, Northern, Transpennine Express and CrossCountry are set to stage a series of one-day strikes this December.
Members of the Aslef union will also be holding a nine-day ban on overtime as the long-running dispute over pay deepens.
The union said the new walkouts will “ratchet up the pressure” on train companies and the Government to give train drivers their first pay rise in more than four years.
Train strikes in December
Here's how the planned strikes will affect different rail services over early December.
- Union members will walk out at EMR and LNER - December 2
- Avanti West Coast, Chiltern, Great Northern Thameslink, and WMT - December 3
- C2C and Greater Anglia - December 5
- Southeastern, Southern/Gatwick Express, the SWR main line and depot, and on the Island Line - December 6
- CrossCountry and GWR - December 7
- Northern and TPT - December 8.
All Aslef members will refuse to work any overtime from Friday, December 1, to Saturday, December 9.
