LNER train drivers to strike for five extra days in February

Aslef responds to operator’s threat to impose minimum service levels at London-Scotland service

The train drivers’ union Aslef has called an extra five days of strikes at LNER in response to the threatened imposition of minimum service levels at the state-run London-Scotland service.

The controversial legislation, brought in by the government in late 2023, is likely to be trialled for the first time in the latest round of rail strikes.
