Trains parked up on tracks at Clapham Junction Station, south west London. Rail passengers face fresh travel chaos on Friday because of another strike by drivers in the long-running dispute over pay, which will cripple services across the country. Picture date: Friday September 1, 2023. PA Photo. The 24-hour walkout by members of Aslef will severely affect timetables, with trains starting later and finishing earlier than usual, with some areas having no trains all day. The dispute started over a year ago and remains deadlocked, with no talks planned and no sign of a breakthrough. See PA story INDUSTRY Strikes. Photo credit should read: Aaron Chown/PA Wire
