Over a wage and conditions dispute, RMT members at 13 companies across the UK voted to take strike action.

A national strike scheduled for next week is expected to bring large swaths of the rail network to a complete halt.

The trade union has requested last-ditch discussions with the government, but the strike dates of June 21, 23, and 25 appear to be fixed.

While the workers will only be on strike for three days, the impact will be noticed between June 20 and 26.

The three strike days will have the most inconvenience, but customers may expect more of the same on the days in between.

While portions of the network will operate on a reduced schedule throughout the week, quieter stations and branches will be totally shut down.

For three days, much of rural and suburban England, the entirety of northern Scotland, and the bulk of Wales will be without rail service.

Even if lines remain available, not all stations will be served, so customers should double-check before heading out.

What train lines are affected by the RMT action?

On strike days, just about half of Britain’s rail network will be open, with only a few services running between 7.30 a.m. and 6.30 p.m.

On certain days, passenger services are projected to be limited to roughly 4,500, compared to 20,000 on regular days.

Other smaller strikes, including those involving TFL tube employees, are expected to exacerbate the disturbance for commuters.

In a separate dispute over jobs and wages, RMT and Unite members on the London Underground will strike on June 21.

Members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association are being balloted for strike action at four companies this month: Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, East Midlands, and West Midlands Trains.
