Thought those parcel delays and Nothern Line cancellations were all over? Err, not quite. If you’d been waiting for 2022’s hot strike summer to cool off before booking your next weekend break, you could still be waiting some time — or you will if you’re planning to get anywhere by train, plane or ferry in the next couple of weeks. Or order any pre-trip essentials by Amazon or Royal Mail.
This weekend, staff across more than 14 train operators will begin the first of another four days of planned industrial action over pay and working conditions, and the third date is set to coincide with another Tube and a bus strike, too. Hope you didn’t have plans to go anywhere on August 19.
