TRAVEL misery is set to continue today as Network Rail clears a huge backlog brought on by yesterday’s crippling 24 hour strike.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Network Rail and 14 train companies walked out on Wednesday in a long-running dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.
Services will be affected this morning, threatening disruption to people travelling to Birmingham for the opening of the Commonwealth Games.
Talks are expected to resume on Thursday but there is little sign of the deadlock being broken.
And MORE strikes will be held on Saturday and next month by the RMT as well as members of the drivers’ union Aslef and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association.
The Aslef union has announced another massive rail strike next month.
On August 13, nine rail groups will walk out over pay disagreements.
