Train drivers will keep striking to 'raise profile' of dispute over pay

Aslef's general secretary, Mick Whelan, has said he believes that the government will make renewed efforts to see train companies use controversial new anti-strike laws, despite the union forcing a climbdown this time around.

An overtime ban will begin to disrupt services from today, before trains are halted for 24 hours at national train operators around England in rolling strikes from tomorrow.

Drivers will strike at Southeastern, Southern/Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Thameslink and South Western Railway tomorrow; at Northern Trains and TransPennine Express on Wednesday; at LNER, Greater Anglia and C2C on Friday; at West Midlands Trains, Avanti West Coast and East Midlands Railway on Saturday; and at Great Western, Cross Country and Chiltern on Monday.
