The train drivers have voted for a strike and are threatening further travel disruptions.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Members of the Aslef drivers’ union at eight railway companies have voted to exit the wage dispute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Network Rail members at the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) and several train operators are also awaiting a result of the ballot later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Some 40,000 RMT members at Network Rail and 13 rail companies held the largest rail strike in 30 years in June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Talks between the RMT union and rail operators are set to resume this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Aslef election results include drivers at Chiltern, GWR, LNER, London Overground, Northern, Southeastern, TransPennine and West Midlands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The dates for the planned strike action have not yet been announced, but unions must give 14 days’ notice of the strike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    This has sparked fears of disruption to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, which are expected to draw around a million tourists between July 28 and August 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Meanwhile, Aslef train drivers working for ScotRail voted for a 5% wage increase, ending the dispute that had led to a cut timetable for almost two months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
