Rail strike June 2022: trains and stations expected to be affected by three days of RMT walkout UK News

All stations in the North East are expected to be affected by the confirmed train strike later this month.

Journeys across Britain will be hit by the disruption, which the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union promises will “shut down” the network in a row for job, pension and wage reasons. There was hope the strike, which staff voted for in May, would be called off, but the RMT confirmed three days of picketing between mid and late June.

Staff working for 13 major operators, including LNER, Northern, CrossCountry and Transpennine, will step down, along with Network Rail staff. If the strike continues, it will be the largest on the rail network since 1989, according to the RMT.

Further talks could take place between the RMT and Network Rail in the coming days, the PA news agency reports. RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said the union “is open to serious negotiations”, adding that the operators and Network Rail will have to “put forward new proposals to avoid months of disruption to our railways”.

When is the train strike in June 2022?

Railway and train staff are due to go on strike on Tuesday June 21, Thursday June 23 and Saturday June 25. The dates were confirmed by the RMT on June 7.

With staff working for 13 of 15 train operators having voted to agree to strike, the disruption will mean less than one in five trains are likely to run, PA News reports. Network Rail workers are also being laid off, which will affect the entire network, including trains operated by companies whose staff are not on strike.

In addition to the National Rail strike, members of the Unite union working on the London Underground will stand down on June 21.

Which trains will be affected by the June 2022 rail strike?

Staff working for all train operators who operate trains on the National Rail network in the North East are due to go on strike, except for one, Lumo, which operates trains between Edinburgh and London via Newcastle. In a statement, Lumo said its services were likely to be affected anyway, due to the strike by Network Rail staff.

Across the UK, 13 staff employed by 13 major operators will quit, affecting all major routes, including East and West Coast trunk lines and suburban lines. It is likely that any running trains will be limited to mainlines, with heavily reduced service.
