Rail strike updates

Planning rail travel any time ahead is not easy due to industrial action by various trade unions.  A body of opinion says that it is self-destructing, with staff losing wages, travel costing more in the future, and short- and long-term putting more traffic on the roads.  

According to National Rail Enquiries strike action has been announced for the following dates but do check on the website https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/industrialaction.aspx

Wednesday 1 February and Friday 3 February – action by both the ASLEF and RMT unions.
