Trains from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston could be cancelled if a new strike by Avanti West Coast employees takes place next month. A total of 300 members of the rail union TSSA are being balloted in a a dispute over pay, conditions and job security.
Voting papers are being issued June 15 and if backed by members, a strike could take place as early as July 13. The move comes after the details of the biggest outbreak of strike action in the rail industry in a generation were revealed earlier this week.
Avanti operates passenger train services and stations including from London Euston to Birmingham, Crewe, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow. TSSA said this was the first ballot for industrial action it has launched in an escalating dispute across the railway.
