Drivers who are part of the Aslef union will walk out on 30 July - three days after a strike by RMT members.
The Department for Transport has previously urged the union to reconsider strike action, saying train drivers earn on average about £60,000 per year - more than twice the UK median salary.
But today's announcement marks the first time during its current dispute that the union has co-ordinated action by this number of operators on the same day. Unless settlements can be reached to prevent the strikes going ahead, a summer of disruption on the railway is shaping up.
