Rail strikes continue to cause disruption to travel around the country today .
Members of the drivers' union Aslef and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association are staging more strike action in worsening disputes over pay and conditions on October 5. And people who need to use public transport, and are unsure of what exactly is affected, could be in for a soggy commute as the bad weather continues to batter to country.
However, this does not need to be the case as InYourArea has its very own Traffic and Travel checker that you can utilise to check on any disruptions to travel. All you have to do is put in your postcode and any problems on the road will flag up.Once your postcode is in, if you switch over to the 'train' or 'bus' tab, then a list of your nearest train stations and bus stops will be available to pick from.
Aslef has also announced that its members working on the Croydon Tramlink have rejected a pay offer and will strike on October 10 and 11. And the TSSA is also planning further industrial action on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, while members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union at more than a dozen train companies and Network Rail will strike on Saturday, October 8.
Rail companies not involved in the strike will be running trains, but these are expected to be busy. Services are likely to be disrupted into the early morning of Thursday as workers return to duties.
