A strike by more than 40,000 workers at Network Rail and 14 train operating companies will go ahead at the end of July after talks failed to resolve disputes over pay, jobs and conditions.

Railway ReadsFrom the history of steam through to 21st century rail transport news, we have titles that cater for all rail enthusiasts. NR expects a “very limited” timetable will be available across the country on the strike day, with around 20% of services running and some parts of the country with no rail services. Passengers should expect disruption and only travel if necessary. Members of the drivers’ union Aslef at eight train operators across the country will go on strike on July 30, and further RMT strikes are also planned for August 18 and 20. Customers are urged to check before they travel. There is plenty of bad blood around as NR has accused the RMT of “obstinacy” and branded its action as a “political campaign” while the Department for Transport said the union is “hell-bent on creating further misery for passengers across the UK”.

An extremely limited service will only operate on the routes below but services will start later and finish much earlier than normal: On the Birmingham New Street and Cardiff Central engineering work means road transport will operate between Gloucester and Newport. TfW say customers with existing non-season tickets valid for travel on the two strike days can use those tickets any time between Tuesday, July 26, and Tuesday, August 2. No trains will run before 7am on any lines except between Treherbert, Aberdare, and Merthyr Tydfil to Radyr. No pre-planned road transport services will be in operation before 6.30pm on Core Valley lines. The majority of train services will not operate and there will be no services on some routes. There is also likely to be disruption on Thursday, TfW says, due to the shift patterns of Network Rail’s signallers and the significant challenges moving trains and crew to operate between strike days. All train and road transport services are expected to be extremely busy due to the reduced service frequency. TfW will be running a full timetable but services are likely be affected by strike action at other train operating companies which could result in short-notice cancellations and changes. Road transport will take customers between Cardiff Central and Radyr in each direction outside of these hours but the warning is there will be extremely limited road transport capacity. Due to the timing of the strike action, services after strike days will also be affected. While Transport for Wales isn't involved in either dispute its services will be affected – particularly on Wednesday, July 27 when the majority of services on the Wales and Borders network will be suspended. The days after industrial action are also likely to be affected."

Most trains are predicted to stop running, and those that are operating will do so on a reduced timetable.

While ScotRail is not included in the action, Scottish services will be drastically reduced.

“Regrettably, this strike action by RMT members of Network Rail means that we will not be able to operate the vast majority of our services during the period of strike action. This is because overnight services will not be able to run before the action, and services may have a delayed start on the day following the action as signal boxes reopen at different times across the country. While ScotRail is not included in the action, its services will be impacted as Network Rail Scotland signallers and maintenance staff in safety-critical roles will be taking part in the walk-out.

The latest strikes are part of an ongoing dispute over pay, jobs and conditions. A revised timetable has been published and you should contact the relevant train company to find out your options. Only if your season ticket is valid for a month or longer. If a train serving any part of your journey (outbound or return) has been cancelled or rescheduled you are entitled to a full refund from wherever you bought the ticket. Avanti West Coast, for example, has given customers with tickets for travel from 26 to 28 July until 29 July to travel. However, you should double-check the train company’s website as there are some exceptions.
