A new round of UK-wide rail strikes have been announced by the train drivers’ union Aslef.

The week-long action will see each rail network in the country knocked out of action for one day at a time between January 30 and February 5.

Many lines will also be disrupted throughout the week as drivers will refuse to work overtime throughout the strike period.
