How will train strikes affect YOU? Britain faces another week of rail chaos ... trends now

Rail passengers across Britain face a week of disruption amid strikes which will lead to some parts of the country having no trains on days of industrial action.

Members of the train drivers' union Aslef at 16 operators launched a six-day ban on overtime from today until Saturday, which could cause short-notice cancellations.

The workers will also stage three, one-day strikes across different operators between tomorrow and Thursday, as part of a long running dispute over pay.

Services that do run on strike days this week are expected to start later and finishing earlier than usual. No talks have been held between the union and train operators for more than a year, and for longer involving the government.

The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators, wrote to Aslef last week suggesting informal talks which could result in more formal negotiations.

But Aslef said its members have not had a pay rise for five years, and the union has accused the Government of 'giving up' trying to resolve the dispute.

Here, MailOnline looks at how operators will be affected on strike days this week:
