In a significant escalation of ongoing industrial action, Aslef members initiated a third day of strikes within a four-day period, causing substantial disruptions across some of the UK’s busiest rail routes on Monday, April 8. The strike, stemming from a protracted pay dispute, has seen train services into London, as well as those in East Anglia and the South East, particularly affected.
