Train drivers are to stage three fresh strikes in the long-running dispute over pay, including one on the day of the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium, their union Aslef announced today.
The union today confirmed the action for Saturday June 3, saying Avanti West Coast, which runs trains to London Euston from Manchester Piccadilly, was one of 16 train operating companies due to be affected.
The Wembley showpiece, the first Manchester derby FA Cup final, kicks off at 3pm.
