A new rail strike has been announced across 14 operators later this month. The new mass walkout was announced for Wednesday 27 July.
The RMT union has called for the stoppage over pay, conditions and job cuts and was announced as chiefs rejected a "paltry" 4% pay rise offer. It follows three days of strikes last month and will apply to some train operating companies plus Network Rail, crippling services the length of the country.
The firms hit by the RMT walkout will be Chiltern Railways, Cross Country Trains, Thameslink, Greater Anglia, LNER, East Midlands Railway, c2c, Great Western Railway, Northern Trains, South Eastern, South Western Railway, Transpennine Express, Avanti West Coast, and West Midlands Trains, reports MirrorOnline.
