Union leaders have confirmed that this week’s rail and tube strikes will go ahead after talks failed to resolve a bitter row over pay, jobs and conditions.
Only about half of Britain’s rail network will be open on the strike days – Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 June – with a very limited service. Most trains will only run between 7.30am and 6.30pm. Intercity main lines and urban services will be most likely to function. Some places will see no services at all.
