A fresh series of strikes has been unveiled by the main train drivers' union, Aslef, in its long-running pay dispute with 16 train companies.

The stoppages between Tuesday 30 January and Monday 5 February will affect different operators each day.

The drivers will also refuse to work overtime from Monday 29 January until Tuesday 6 February.

The first strike in this dispute by Aslef was in July 2022, and the row is now in its third calendar year.

The Rail Delivery Group - which represents the train operators - said "nobody wins" when strikes take place and called on Aslef to work with them to resolve the dispute.

The Department for Transport called the action disappointing.

Which train companies are affected on which day?

• Tuesday 30 January: Southeastern, Southern, Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Thameslink, South Western Railway and SWR Island Line
• Wednesday 31 January: Northern Trains, Transpennine Express
• Friday 2 February: Greater Anglia, C2C, LNER
• Saturday 3 February: West Midlands Trains, Avanti West Coast, East Midlands Railway
• Monday 5 February: Great Western, CrossCountry, Chiltern

Operators not involved in industrial action, for example ScotRail and Transport for Wales, should run normal services.

Previously, most of the train companies involved have not been able to run any trains when drivers are on strike. A few have run a limited timetable using managers to drive trains.

There will be no strike action on Thursday 1 February or Sunday 4 February.

Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan accused ministers of not wanting to resolve the dispute, and called for the government and train companies to "come to the table with a realistic offer".
