Rail strike to cause severe disruption across Great Britain on Saturday

Members of Aslef union will take part in most widespread stoppage by train drivers since rail privatisation

Rail services around Great Britain will be severely disrupted on Saturday by the most widespread strike by train drivers since rail privatisation in 1996.

Members of the Aslef union will stop work for 24 hours at seven train operators, halting some parts of the network and leaving only a few trains running on some other lines.
