Drivers at eight train companies have voted to walk out but a date for action has not yet been set.

Train drivers have voted "overwhelmingly" to go on strike threatening further travel disruption.

Hundreds of Transport Salaried Staffs Association members at Southeastern have also voted for strikes, the union has announced. Members of the RMT union at 13 train companies and Network Rail walked out in what was the biggest rail strike in 30 years. Talks between the RMT union and rail operators resumed today.

"We want an increase in line with the cost of living - we want to be able to buy, in 2022, what we could buy in 2021," he said.
