UK: Unionized transport workers to observe various strike actions Feb. 27-March 5
Various transport operators in the UK to be affected by strikes on different days Feb. 27-March 5. Transport disruptions likely.
Unionized transport workers across the UK will observe various strike actions Feb. 27-March 5. The strikes will impact different transport operators each day and last for varying times. Details of the strike actions are as follows:
Feb 27-29: Translink bus and rail services in Northern Ireland.
March 1: LNER and Northern rail services.
March 4-5: London Overground rail services.
Rail operators affected by 24-hour strikes will likely provide limited services on affected days; cancelations and service suspensions are likely. Previous Translink strikes have resulted in all Translink bus and rail services being suspended. Increased congestion is likely on available and alternative services. Increased demand for other forms of transport is probable. Residual disruptions are possible after the work stoppages conclude. Striking workers may protest outside railway stations and other transport hubs.
Reconfirm public transport schedules and travel plans on strike-affected days. Heed all official directives. Avoid any demonstrations that could materialize.
