TRAIN drivers’ endorsement today of another six months of strikes show their “determination to win,” Aslef has said.

The rail union repeated calls for employers to reopen talks after its members voted by massive margins for more walkouts across England and the London Underground in a year-long dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.

Chiltern, East Midlands, Northern and TransPennine Express services now face strikes into the new year, while nearly nine in 10 of the union’s members at c2c voted to down tools for the first time on a whopping 85 per cent turnout.
