Drivers belonging to ASLEF are set to strike for 24 hours tomorrow, reducing East Coast intercity services by an estimated 75 per cent. No LNER trains will be running north of Edinburgh. The union is also staging a ban on overtime and rest day working from today until Sunday. The walkout is unconnected with ASLEF’s pay dispute with English operators, and has been caused by what the union described as the ‘company’s persistent failure to comply with existing agreements’. Meanwhile, the RMT has rejected a pay offer for its Network Rail members.
