Train drivers at eight UK operators have announced they will strike on July 30, the same day as the Community Shield between Liverpool and Manchester City.
Arriva Rail London, Chiltern Railways, Great Western, LNER, Greater Anglia, Southeastern, Hull Trains and West Midlands Trains are the following companies threatening industrial action as disputes over their pay continue. Similar scenes were witnessed last month and will also occur again ahead of the expected chaos on July 30 as Britain's trade union for train drivers, Aslef, hold out for increase wages in line with the rising cost of living.
Supporters who were intending to travel to the King Power Stadium to watch the Reds in action are now expected to be affected by this development as the main supplier for the route of Liverpool to Leicester are West Midlands Trains. At this stage, it remains unclear as to which services will not go ahead as planned.
