This is the best summary I could come up with:
Train drivers have called a further week of rolling strikes across England from late January in their long-running dispute with operators over pay.
Members of the Aslef union will strike for 24 hours at each train-operating company on the national railway on different days between Tuesday 30 January and Monday 5 February.
The latest strikes follow a similar week of rolling action in December, after 14 previous days of nationwide stoppages over the 18-month dispute.
The Aslef general secretary, Mick Whelan, said: “We have given the government every opportunity to come to the table but it has now been a year since we had any contact from the Department for Transport (DfT).
Walkouts are likely to stop all trains at affected operators, although there is the possibility that companies could demand that 40% of their timetable runs under the government’s new minimum services levels law.
The rail strikes will only take place at companies contracted to the DfT in England, but some cross-border services they operate into Scotland and Wales may be affected.
