Train drivers have called a further week of rolling strikes across England from late January in their long-running dispute with operators over pay.

Members of the Aslef union will strike for 24 hours at each train-operating company on the national railway on different days between Tuesday 30 January and Monday 5 February. Drivers will refuse to work overtime throughout the strike period, causing prolonged disruption in parts of the network that rely on rest day working.
