Aslef train drivers continue rolling strikes across England
ASLEF picket line in Newcastle where LNER drivers are taking strike action
[Neil Terry Photography]
TRAIN drivers continued their rolling programme of strikes at operators across England today, with pickets set to be in action again tomorrow.

The union says drivers have not had a pay increase for five years.
