Train drivers are set to strike again next month as part of a long-running dispute over pay and conditions.
Aslef members at 16 rail companies will take part in rolling one-day walk outs between 5 and 8 April, along with a six-day overtime ban.
The union said the new industrial action was to “increase the pressure” on train companies for a pay rise.

The latest action is likely to lead to cancellations and delays.
Little progress has been made in solving the row between Aslef bosses and rail companies since the union first started striking in July 2022. Some 14 one-day strikes have been called during the 20-month dispute.
The most recent pay deal put on the table was rejected almost a year ago in April 2023. The offer included 4% pay rises for two years in a row, on condition that drivers would accept industry-wide changes to training, and negotiate changes to work patterns at individual operators.
No formal talks have been held since.
