Rail Strikes to Affect Train Journeys Across the Country
There will be a fresh wave of rail strikes this week affecting train journeys across the country due to ongoing pay disputes between the government and the ASLEF and RMT unions.
The strikes will occur on Wednesday 31 May, Friday 2, and Saturday 3 June.
The ASLEF drivers will also have an overtime ban on Thursday 1 June.
Both unions have rejected the pay offers put forth by the government, and commuters have been facing regular train cancellations.
The strikes will impact people traveling to the FA Cup Final, the Epsom Derby, the England vs Ireland test match at Lord's, and Beyonce's concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The affected train operators are Avanti West Coast, Southern, Southeastern, TransPennine Express, Greater Anglia, LNER, and C2C.
There will be no services running on any routes on Wednesday 31 May or Saturday 3 June.
On Friday 2 June, there will be very limited service with "essential travel only" encouraged.
On Thursday 1 June, there may be short notice cancellations, and passengers are advised to check before they travel.
On Sunday 4 June, there will be a reduced service with fewer services before 7am.
Multiple train companies in the UK, including Northern, Southern, Southeastern, Thameslink, TransPennine Express, and Heathrow and Stansted Express, will have limited services or no services at all on certain dates in June due to strikes and overtime bans.
These strikes may cause significant disruptions to train schedules and travel plans.
Passengers are advised to check with the individual train companies for the latest information on services.
