Workers on Northern Rail and South Western Railway (SWR) are staging the
latest in a series of 24-hour strikes.
Members of the RMT transport union stopped work at midnight as part of a
two-year dispute with rail firms over the future of train guards.
Northern said it would run 30% of its normal services while SWR said more
than half of trains would operate.
The RMT (Rail, Maritime and Transport) union is calling for a guarantee that
a guard will work on all services.
SWR said it would roster guards on all services but trains could still
operate in “exceptional circumstances” if no guard was available.
Northern said the issue would be discussed with the union on Wednesday at
the ACAS conciliation service.
The Northern strike is the fourth in a series of walkouts planned for six
consecutive Saturdays until 29 September.
The union said it would meet next week to consider further strike dates on
SWR.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: January 24, 2019 11:28:24 AM Scotland’s former First Minister Alex Salmond has been arrested by police and charged, with a report sent to the procurator fiscal. He is due to appear in court in Edinburgh later today. Sky News are reporting that proceedings are now live under the Contempt of Court Act. Police did not say what Salmond, who served as first minister from 2007 to 2014, is charged with. Two people have made harassment complaints against the SNP grandee but he denies them and took successful legal action against the Scottish government over their investigation. Earlier this month a court said the government’s decisions were “procedurally unfair and… tainted with apparent bias”. At the time Salmond said he is “not guilty of any criminality whatsoever.” The party leader resigned following the loss of the Scottish independence referendum but represented Gordon in the House of Commons from 2015 to 2017.
