Rail passengers face fresh travel disruption over the next few days because of strikes by train drivers and other workers in long-running disputes over pay.

Members of the drivers’ union Aslef walked out today (Friday) at more than a dozen train operators, crippling services across the country.

Both TransPennine Express and Northern are running no trains today.
