Train strikes: Full list of dates in December 2023 and rail lines affected

ASLEF's train drivers are to stage several strikes and overtime bans in December in their long-running dispute over pay. ASLEF says the new walkouts will "ratchet up the pressure" on train companies and the government to give train drivers their first pay rise in more than four years.

The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train companies, said the latest offer was "fair and affordable" and would take average driver salaries from £60,000 to nearly £65,000.
