Drivers’ strike will see no train services in parts of country
Parts of the country will have no train services on Friday because of a fresh strike by drivers in a long-running pay dispute.
Members of Aslef at Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern will walk out, mounting picket lines outside stations.
All five train operators said they will not run any services, with passengers urged not to attempt to travel.
A ban on overtime at 16 companies is also continuing until Saturday, which will cause disruption to services.
On Saturday train drivers will walk out on Chiltern Railways, Great Western Railway, LNER, Heathrow Express, Northern and TransPennine Express.
