Members of drivers’ union Aslef have voted overwhelmingly in favour of an offer put forward by the new Labour government. The agreement resolves a pay dispute involving 16 rail companies that started in July 2022 and saw drivers take part in 18 days of strike action, causing widespread disruption on the country’s rail network.
Yesterday, Aslef said members voted by 96 per cent in favour of the deal, which will result in a pay rise of almost 15 per cent over three years. It will see the average salary of a train driver, without overtime, rising from £60,000 to £69,000.
The dispute involved the 14 English rail firms whose operations are controlled by the Department for Transport. They comprise all the major commuter and intercity operators, including South Western Railway, Govia Thameslink, Avanti West Coast, GWR, LNER, CrossCountry and Northern.
