Members of the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) train drivers union have declared their intention to stage walkouts on Friday, 1 September, and enforce overtime bans on Saturday, 2 September, causing disruption to railway services across Britain. This announcement comes amidst an ongoing dispute over pay, conditions, and safety that has been ongoing since June 2022.

The ASLEF union, which represents train drivers, has reported that a total of 16,000 drivers are poised to participate in the action next month. This move follows a series of strikes that have already taken place as part of the ongoing conflict, amounting to 11 days of disruptions thus far.
