Stone trains to be hit by national strike

Train services that stop at Stone will be affected on Thursday 23rd December after London Midland drivers voted to strike in a row over pay and conditions.

London Midland operates several services between Crewe and London which call at Stone.

The union Aslef said its members had backed a campaign of industrial action.  Aslef official Mick Whelan said it had been trying to “harmonise the conditions of drivers” from two firms which merged to form London Midland.

London Midland said the union turned down a deal which could have achieved this.

Mr Whelen said Aslef had been negotiating for three years to get the same conditions for more than 600 drivers from the two previous franchises, Silverlink and Central Trains.
