Train companies said only about a fifth of services across the country were due to run.
The dispute centers on pay, working conditions and job security as Britain’s railways struggle to adapt to travel and commuting habits changed—perhaps forever—by the coronavirus pandemic. There were almost 1 billion train journeys in the U.K. in the year to March, compared to 1.7 billion in the 12 months before the pandemic, and rail companies are looking to cut costs and staffing.
It accuses the Conservative government of preventing train companies from making a better offer. The government says it is not directly involved in the dispute. “The government need to stop their interference in this dispute so the rail employers can come to a negotiated settlement with us,” he said.
