England to have almost no trains running on Wednesday as drivers strike

First of two walkouts by Aslef members will affect 14 operators, 10 of which will run no services

Rail passengers across Britain face more disruption on Wednesday, with no trains at all running on most routes in England as train drivers start the first of two days of strikes this week.

The seventh day of national action in the past year by the Aslef union will affect 14 operating companies, with all but four of them suspending services entirely.
