(Picture: PA Archive)Staff at Network Rail and 13 train operating companies have voted to strike later this month over proposed job cuts and pay freezes. It’s been labelled the biggest rail strike in decades and will see 40,000 staff take part.
The first day of the walkout, on 21st June, will coincide with an additional 10,000 London Underground workers going on strike in an ongoing dispute over job losses and pensions.
