Avanti West Coast cancels services at the weekend due to strikes

Train drivers will stage a walkout on Saturday over pay disputes with industry operators

The train operator announced that all of its services will not run on Saturday, November 26 and has warned people to "not attempt to travel". It comes following a dispute between the ASLEF union and the industry over pay.

In a tweet the company said: "Due to industrial action, there will be no services on Saturday 26 November. Please do not attempt to travel." Mick Whelan, ASLEF general secretary, commented: “We regret that passengers will be inconvenienced for another day. We don’t want to be taking this action. Withdrawing our labour is always a last resort for a trade union. We have come to the table, as we always will, in good faith but while the industry continues to make no offer – due to the dodgy deal they signed with the DfT – we have no choice but to take strike action again.
