Another Rail strike – More troubles ahead for London travellers

Rail travellers in London face fresh travel chaos after more strikes by train drivers were announced today in a row over pay and working conditions.

Passengers face a week of without train services after drivers on the National Express East Anglia franchise rejected a pay deal. Members of train drivers union Aslef at National Express East Anglia will walk out for a week from September 21.


Last month there was travel chaos in London when rail workers staged a series of strikes, which ended after a new deal with their employers. The rails drivers union Aslef reports that it’s members had refused to accept the deal.

This rail strike is once again going to cause trouble for passengers between London and Essex, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.

    Yuck, sometimes strikes are the only way to get fair wages and working conditions. I hope the matter gets resolved swiftly so things can get back to order.

    I agree with you @Debo Hobo, one of the worker's greatest weapon is to withdraw his/her services inorder to get better wages and conditions. This problem at National Express has gone on for a long time. They should resolve it.

    Otherwise it's more trouble for rail travellers on some of the routes into London which do not have better alternative public transport.
