Train drivers for 12 rail companies will strike again as part of an ongoing dispute over pay.

Staff will walk out on 15 September, after talks broke down, the Aslef union says.

Union general secretary Mick Whelan said workers didn’t want to go on strike but said the train companies had forced their hand.

Drivers previously walked out on 30 July and 13 August, causing disruption and cancellations to train services across the country.
