UK: Unionized transport workers to observe various strike actions March 1-5 /update 1

Unionized transport workers across the UK will observe various strike actions March 1-5. The strikes will impact different transport operators each day and last for varying times. Details of the strike actions are as follows:

• March 1: LNER and Northern rail services.

• March 4-5: London Overground rail services.

Union leaders postponed a planned strike Feb 27-29 on Translink bus and rail services in Northern Ireland.

Rail operators affected by 24-hour strikes will likely provide limited services on affected days; cancelations and service suspensions are likely. 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.
