Rail workers will strike next month after a continued deadlock over a paydeal.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport workers union (RMT) has announced further strike action that will include 24-hour walkouts and overtime bans, after rejecting the train operators' final offer last week.
Union members from 14 train operators will strike on 16, 18 and 30 March, and 1 April, while those at Network Rail will strike on 16 March.
RMT members at Network Rail will also begin an overtime ban disrupting operations and maintenance, during seven day periods between 17 to 23 March, 31 March to 6 April, and 14 April to 20 April.
The union, which represents 40,000 workers across Network Rail and 14 train operators, rejected offers from employers last week after failing to meet their demands on pay, job security or working conditions.
The offer inluded at least a 9pc increase over two years, rising to over 14pc for the lowest paid workers.
Mick Lynch, RMT general secretary said: "Rail employers are not being given a fresh mandate by the government to offer our members a new deal on pay, conditions and job security.
"Therefore, our members will now take sustained and targeted industrial action over the next few months.
"The government can settle this dispute easily by unshackling the rail companies.
"However, its stubborn refusal to do so will now mean more strike action across the railway network and a very disruptive overtime ban.
"Ministers cannot continue to sit on their hands hoping this dispute will go away as our members are fully prepared to fight tooth and nail for a negotiated settlement in the months ahead."
