By Ilaria Grasso Macola

Platform and ticketing staff working at Network Rail have joined the wave of industrial action and announced they will strike on 18 and 20 August.

Members of the union TSSA working as general grades and controllers on the government-owned rail operator will join the union’s walk out at seven other operators – including c2c, Avanti West Coast and LNER.

TSSA leaders said that workers were left “with little choice.”

“No one takes strike action lightly, but we have been left with little choice,” commented general secretary Manuel Cortes.

“Sadly, it now looks as though we are about to see yet more disruption on our railways this summer.”
