Major train disruption as union announces August strike action

Major train disruption is expected this August following a union announcement of strike action. This walkout is driven by specific union concerns regarding train safety. Additionally, further disruption is anticipated for Metrolink services during the same period. To mitigate the impact on passengers, replacement buses will be in operation. These combined events are set to cause significant travel challenges for commuters relying on these rail and light rail networks throughout the month of August.
