Has there been any announcement of industrial action on Saturday 11 June? I can't see a mention of a strike having been called anywhere and it's now less than 2 weeks away so any new strike would be a future date.

Up until now, the Saturday strikes have only been on Bank Holiday weekends. As it is less than 2 weeks away, I would not expect there to be any strike related disruption on this date.

Thanks. I couldn't find any news story stating all strike dates, only ones confirming strikes already announced would still go ahead.

No problem. This BBC article does list them all, as well as the TPE website.

There has been no announcement regarding strike dates after 5 June. I suspect that there might be one normal Sunday (12 June) before the RMT starts coordinating strikes across the industry using its new mandate.

Although check the timetable the day before hand because there could be pre cancelled trains on the day even without a strike.

The TPE website only seems to mention 04/05 May, whilst the BBC has quite a few since then.

TransPennine Express (TPE) is asking customers to plan carefully ahead of planned RMT strike action taking place this weekend on Saturday 04 and Sunday 05 May.

It only has those past dates on.
I imagine 04/05 May is a typo for June - the following paragraph says:
The RMT has also announced further planned strike action by its TPE conductors from 00:01 – 23:59 on the following dates:

Sundays until 5 June

Saturday 4 June (Jubilee Bank Holiday)
