Full list of train strikes taking place this week and the rail companies affected
manchestereveningnews.co.ukTrain strikes are affecting rail networks across the country today (Thursday July 20), with more disruption expected this weekend.
Thousands of workers have taken industrial action amid a long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), including station staff and train managers, walked out and will strike again on Saturday, July 22, and on July 29, while drivers in Aslef are banning overtime this week.
Passengers were advised to check their travel arrangements as the strike action at 14 train companies will see wide variations of services across the country with trains due to start later and finish much earlier than usual.
In some areas only around half of train services will run, while others will have no services at all. Try MEN Premium for FREE by clicking here for no ads, fun puzzles and brilliant new features.
