Which railway unions are on strike tomorrow?

[evotista]

Just for clarification, am I correct in thinking its ASLEF members and drivers who are members of RMT who are on strike tomorrow? ... i.e. non Drivers who are RMT union members are not on strike tomorrow e.g. Guards, NR signallers etc.

Is the above correct since it's not clear at all on the RMT website or BBC etc. regards to whether it is the whole of RMT (TOCs and NR) who are on strike tomorrow!

RTT shows freight's running, but no passenger trains (that's for northampton, anyways)

Hull Trains are running a normal service on 1st and 3rd Feb.

Yes that is correct. Signallers, guards & NR are working as normal. It’s just the few RMT drivers who will now join in with their ASLEF colleagues.

Thankyou for confirming dk1 .. .as a subsiduary question does anyone know roughly how many Drivers who are members of RMT that there actually are? From memory when the full RMT strikes have occured often the press quote 40,000 members on strike ... I'm assuming the number of driver RMT members is miniscule?? .... a few hundred?

I seem to recall a figure of around 2% mate but not sure why.

Also bear in mind that ASLEF are in dispute with many, but not all, TOCs. Those companies that the union is not in dispute with should run to a normal timetable.

South Western Railway depot drivers and Island Line drivers are on strikes but not SWR drivers so I assume it'll be a somewhat normal service.

London Overground drivers aren't on strike as they have a pay offer from ARL although not sure if the vote has been announced.

Not quite. TfW trains only run as far east as Wolverhampton due to the fear of them becoming unsafely overloaded if they formed the only passenger services between WVH-BHM and BHI.

I'm surprised they don't have the same concerns about Wilmslow - Stockport - Manchester, but Cardiff - Manchester services running as normal tomorrow.

They aren't.

Pick up/set down only to prevent local traffic between Stockport/Wilmslow and Manchester.

Elizabeth line is a normal timetable as is London Overground.

 

[dk1]

Elizabeth line is a normal timetable as is London Overground.

Yes those are lucky enough to be governed by the Mayor rather than the DfT.

 

[WizCastro197]

I'd expect those trains to crowded, as the TOCs that operate within the same area (GWR,GTR, Southeastern), are all on strike.

Normal service on SWR tomorrow, except no service on the Island line.

Does anyone know why Island Line drivers are striking when their SWR compatriots are not?

Well, until the TFL-owned central section control staff go on strike, of course

 

[Bald Rick]

Well, until the TFL-owned central section control staff go on strike, of course

Industrial action in that dispute is suspended.

 

[Goldfish62]

Does anyone know why Island Line drivers are striking when their SWR compatriots are not?

Because SWR drivers are on a multi year deal which runs until this April.
