Britain’s railways were hit with a 24-hour strike involving RMT members at 14 train operating companies on 15 May, just one day after drivers’ strikes. Merseyrail is not affected but intercity train services will stop earlier than usual. The Rail Delivery Group has warned that trains will also face disruption over the coming week due to an overtime ban by Aslef. The union’s members have voted to keep striking for another six months if necessary. The ban could have a major impact on passengers in and out of London, with rail firms warning of more delays and cancellations.
