Aslef calls another Welsh strike [Rail News]





Date: 15/01/2016

A FURTHER strike has been called of Arriva Trains Wales drivers, after peace talks broke down. Aslef said its members would walk out on 1 February, in the continuing dispute over conditions. There has already been one strike this year, on 4 January, and there had been hopes that further negotiations would result in agreement over terms and conditions of drivers' employment. A pay deal has already been accepted. [From Richard Buckby]
