Rail strikes from the RMT (Rail, Maritime and Transport) union and Aslef (Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen) are set to take place in June 2023.
In long-running disputes over pay and conditions, more are expected over the course of the summer and the year as a whole.
National Rail said “passengers are warned to expect significant disruption as it is likely to result in little or no services across large areas of the network” on strike days.
It added: “Services are also likely to be disrupted and start later on the day immediately following a strike day.”
Here are all the confirmed strike days for June so far.
Rail strikes taking place in June 2023
A strike by the RMT is currently scheduled for Friday, June 2, whilst Aslef has one planned for the day after on Saturday, June 3.
Much disruption is expected, particularly for Saturday, with people travelling to the Epsom Derby and the FA Cup final among other large-scale events.
Aslef also starts an overtime ban at 15 train operating companies on Thursday, June 1, which could cause disruption, especially in and out of London.
Currently, the two strike days in June are the only ones scheduled by the unions, although more could be arranged as they have to give a minimum of 14 days' notice.
