The chaos comes as members of Aslef union, representing train drivers, hold a rolling programme of one-day walkouts
Trains were halted on Friday, and will be on Saturday and Monday, with a cancellation of overtime also in place from 4 to 9 April.Some areas of the country will have no services all day on Saturday.
Avanti West Coast said: “No trains will serve Penrith, Carlisle, Lockerbie, Motherwell, Glasgow Central, Haymarket or Edinburgh, and only a limited number of services will serve Lancaster and Oxenholme. All remaining trains will start/terminate at Preston.” Drivers will also disrupt services on C2C, Greater Anglia, Great Northern, Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern, Gatwick Express and South Western Railway.
The union is asking for an unconditional pay rise, while rail firms and the government say wage increases need to be contingent on reforms to working practices.Aslef said the nearly two-year-long row had cost the industry £2 billion, much more than it would have cost to resolve the conflict. No meetings have been held between the union and the Rail Delivery Group for a year, or with Transport Secretary Mark Harper since December 2022.
