Railway workers are preparing for one of the biggest rail strikes in 30 years and passengers want to learn further information about affected routes and dates.

People employed at 13 train companies, Network Rail and members of the RMT union will walk out for a pay rise on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week.

As a result, severe disruptions are expected across services, including cancellations and complete shut downs while the strikes take place.

Passengers are worried if there will be further strikes next month. Here’s everything we know so far, including routes, operators and dates.

At the time of writing, Croydon trams are one of the line operators who will walk out for a pay rise in July 2022.

Croydon tram drivers will strike from 00:01 on Wednesday July 13th until 23:59 on Thursday July 14th.

They will also hold a 48-hour strike from 00:01 on Tuesday June 28th until 23:59 on Wednesday, June 29th.  

Croydon trams run to Wimbledon, Beckenham and Elmers End and New Addington to the south-east.

Croydon Tramlink union organiser Finn Brennan said: “More than six months after the end of our last pay settlement and with RPI running at over 11 per cent, there has still been no offer from the company Our members are seeing the price of their necessities, from fuel to food go up, while the real value of wages has fallen dramatically.

There are other strikes planned by the TSSA union, Chronicle Live reports, and they can take place in July if enough union members vote.

If that’s the case, workers from CrossCountry, East Midlands and West Midlands are likely to walk out between the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The event takes place from July 28th until August 8th, 2022.

CrossCountry operates between Bristol Temple Meads to York via Birmingham New Street, and trains run to Derby, Sheffield, Leeds and Doncaster. East Midlands offer services between London and Manchester and include Derby and Leicester.

West Midlands trains operate across 25 stations, staring at London Euston and finishing at Birmingham New Street.

Moreover, TSSA members at Network Rail are set to cast their votes by July 11th and a strike is likely to take place on July 25th if there are enough votes.

TSSA General Secretary Manuel Cortes said: “We could be seeing a summer of discontent across our railways if Network Rail don’t see sense and come to the table to face the concerns of their staff.”

The TSSA union includes 570 railway workers and ballots for them opened on June 16th and will close on July 7th.

RMT members on Network Rail and 13 train operators are taking part in the strikes which will take place on Tuesday, June 21st, Thursday, June 23rd and Saturday, June 25th.

TFL has advised passengers not to travel after 6 pm if possible as a number of national rail, TFL and national rail services will be severely disrupted.

This includes all Tube lines like Circle Line, Jubilee Line, District Line, Hammersmith and City Line, Metropolitan Line, Northern Line, among others.
