Rail platform staff working at Network Rail and other five train operators will walk out on 3,4,5,7, 8 November as the union TSSA has announced another week of industrial action.
Disruption will affect services on Network Rail, Avanti West Coast, South Western Railway, West Midlands Trains and c2c.
Workers – which are striking as part of a long-standing dispute over pay, job security and conditions – will join members of the union RMT working at 14 train operators as well as on London Underground and Overground.
“Our members never take industrial action lightly,” said TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes.
“We would far rather find a fair negotiated solution to this now long-running dispute, but we simply have no choice.”
Workers at South Western Rail, Southeastern, West Midlands Trains, Northern, Great Western and TransPennine Express will carry out action short of strike throughout November.
City A.M. has approached the Rail Delivery Group, Network Rail and the DfT for comment.
