Rail services will be severely disrupted tomorrow and into Sunday morning due to the latest strike - with members of the drivers' union Aslef walking out ...

The clock is ticking and the time to act is now!' The summer is the perfect time for Londoners and visitors to enjoy everything in the city and we hope the full return of the Night Tube will be a further boost to the capital's recovery.' And a Port of Dover official told the Daily Mail this morning: 'There is no wait to get through. We've had the peak for today and the rest of the day is steady.' He added: 'The key thing though is that the only way these disputes are ever resolved is if Grant Shapps and the Government stops pulling the strings and allows the rail companies to talk to the trade unions. Long-running strikes on the Night Tube by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) in a dispute over shifts were suspended last week. They are an essential part of our national infrastructure and need to be acknowledged as such. Heathrow's chief commercial officer Ross Baker said: 'We are expecting a busy summer period and we want all of Heathrow's passengers and colleagues to have access to good public transport at the times they need it. The full return of the Night Tube is at the heart of my vision to build a better and safer London for everyone. With no service expected on the entire London Overground network, I advise all customers to check before they travel and use alternative routes to complete their journeys.' Drivers will face the worst delays between 11am and 3pm today and tomorrow. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: 'I'm delighted that from this Friday there will be a complete Night Tube service running once again.

UK train strikes – North Yorkshire customers to face delays (Gazette & Herald)

Railway operators affected by the strike include Arriva Rail London, Greater Anglia, Great Western, Hull Trains, LNER, Southeastern and West Midlands Trains.

"And these companies are offering us nothing, saying their hands have been tied by the government. That means, in real terms, with inflation running ahead at 9%, 10%, and even 11% this year, according to which index you use, that they are being told to take a real terms pay cut. The drivers at the companies where we are striking have had a real terms pay cut over the last three years – since April 2019. “I urge train drivers to get back to work and for unions and management to get back to the negotiating table.” Mick Whelan, general secretary of Aslef, said: "We don’t want to go on strike – strikes are the result of a failure of negotiation – and this union, since I was elected GS in 2011, has only ever been on strike, until this year, for a handful of days. The strike has been called by the train drivers union ASLEF after rail bosses failed to increase pay during the increase in the cost of living.
