More strikes may cause disruption to Southern train services over Christmas and New Year

Members of the UK’s biggest rail union, Aslef, have voted overwhelmingly in favour of striking in reaction to a dispute with Southern railway over driver-only trains.

The union will have to give seven days’ notice of any industrial action but more stoppages are planned in the coming weeks, in the run-up to Christmas and over the new year.

London Underground drivers are to stage a 24-hour strike on 6 and 7 December, coinciding with a walkout by Southern rail guards.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union plans to strike on this dates:

• 00:01 Tuesday 6 December to 23:59 Thursday 8 December
• 00:01 Thursday 22 December to 23:59 Saturday 24 December
• 00:01 Saturday 31 December to 23:59 Monday 2 January
