Members of the train drivers’ union, Aslef, will walk out at 11 train operators on Saturday 26 November. The strike will trigger widespread cancellations – affecting Rugby fans heading for the last of the autumn internationals in Cardiff and Twickenham, and potentially millions more prospective travellers.
It will be the fifth national strike by train drivers, in a year that has also seen eight days of national strikes by the RMT union.
