Rail strikes: public told to check before travelling on second day of Aslef action

Most services on six major lines suspended on Saturday, as strikes coincide with union’s overtime ban

Rail passengers across Great Britain have been told to check before they travel as a second day of strikes by train drivers will result in most services being suspended on six major lines.

Industrial action by the drivers’ union Aslef will mean staff working for Chiltern Railways, Great Western Railway, Heathrow Express, LNER, Northern and TransPennine Express (TPE) staging a 24-hour strike on Saturday.
