Train drivers from Chiltern Trains, Great Western Railway, and Cross Country Trains are on strike to defend jobs, pay, and conditions. ASLEFunion members are also on strike demanding their first pay rise since 2019. Politicians and unions are calling for talks to resolve the disputes. Picket lines are strong across the country, including in Bournemouth, Plymouth, Westbury, and Edinburgh. Additionally, there are upcoming protests and solidarity activities in support of Gaza and against cuts to railway maintenance and infrastructure.
