London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train drivers are set to strike for five days from 5 February over a long running dispute over pay.
The LNER drivers will also refuse to work any non-contractual overtime from 7 to 10 February, which comes as Aslef operators have previously announced strike action.
Mick Whelan, general secretary of Aslef said, “We have given LNER management, and their government counterparts who hold the purse strings, every opportunity to come to the table and they have so far made no realistic offer to our members.
“We have not heard from the transport secretary since December 2022, or from the train operating companies since April 2023.
“It’s time for them to come to the table and work with us to resolve this dispute so we can all move forward and get our railway back on track.”
