We booked our train tickets for May 8th, we now see a notice that they are striking May 7-9th. Any thoughts on this regarding should I cancel and book another travel method or wait it out? We don't have a train system where I live so unfamiliar with this. Below Copied from news site.
Members of Aslef union at 16 rail companies will walk out on different days from 7 to 9 May.
Additionally, all members will refuse to work any overtime from 6 May to 11 May.
Here is a full list of the services affected by strikes and when.
Rail strike dates
Tuesday 7 May
Strikes will affect c2c, Greater Anglia, GTR Great Northern Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern, Gatwick Express and South Western Railway.
Wednesday 8 May
Strikes will affect Avanti West Coast, Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, Great Western Railway and West Midlands Trains.
Thursday 9 May
Strikes will affect LNER, Northern Trains and TransPennine Express.
Overtime ban dates
From Monday 6 May to Saturday 11 May union members will not work overtime.
Overtime bans, an action short of a strike, means some services may not be running or may be reduced as drivers refuse to work their rest days.
Thanks for all the great advice I have received and read on here, I am probably not the only one wondering what this means. Thanks in advance.
