LNER Calls Off Five-Day Strike in February; Other Train Operators' Strikes Still On

Despite LNER's decision, rolling strikes by other train operators are still scheduled between January 30 and February 5 amid ongoing pay dispute.

LNER has withdrawn its plan for a five-day strike in February, following the company's decision to not implement minimum service levels during the strike.
Despite the called-off LNER strike, rolling strikes by other train operators are still scheduled to take place between January 30 and February 5.
Train drivers have been in a pay dispute with the Government and train operating companies for the past 20 months, leading to significant disruptions.
New laws allow employers to require staff planning to strike to provide 40% of timetabled rail services, but none of the train companies affected by the new strikes have said they will implement these regulations.
The Aslef union, which represents the train drivers, has accused the Government of failing to engage to end the pay dispute.
