Show Notes
Rail strikes will resume in early December – but with a difference. Train drivers belonging to the Aslef union will walk out during the course of the first week of next month. But rather than being an all-out national strike, cancellations will instead ripple across Britain during the course of the week as drivers at different operators stop work. I explain how this will work and how its aim is to maximise the disruption caused to Britain's rail network.
