The action, organised by the Aslef union, will coincide with the Conservative Party conference, which is being held in Manchester at the start of October
Aslef said the action will “force the train operating companies to cancel all services and the ban on overtime will seriously disrupt the network”.Talks between Aslef and the Rail Delivery Group , which represents the rail companies, have stalled since the union rejected the RDG’s most recent proposal.
Mick Whelan, Aslef’s general secretary, said: “While we regret having to take this action – we don’t want to lose a day’s pay, or disrupt passengers, as they try to travel by train – the Government, and the employers, have forced us into this position.
