Rail passengers told not to travel from Tuesday until Saturday amid strikes and overtime ban

Train passengers are facing major disruption on the UK’s rail network until next week as aMembers of the Rail, Martime and Transport union who work for Network Rail and 14 train operators will stage two 48-hour strikes from Tuesday and Friday, while drivers from the Aslef union will walk out on Thursday.

The RMT also has an overtime ban in place at 14 train operating companies until Monday that will continue to affect the level of cancellations and the punctuality of some services. “The Government simply will not give a mandate to the employers, Network Rail and the train operators that will allow this deal to be resolved. They’re sitting on their hands and are noted by their absence from this scene. They keep saying that they’re facilitating a deal. And I think it’s absolutely the opposite to that.Mr Lynch said that “sensible” proposals would mean that the ongoing disruption could be brought to an end.
