BRITS face more strike misery – with train drivers set to stage a series of walkouts.
Train drivers on LNER will stage more walkouts, the Aslef rail union said.

The union blamed a rift in industrial relations and the breaking of agreements by LNER bosses.
In April LNER drivers walked out in a dispute over terms and conditions.
The strike disrupted services between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley, and between King’s Cross and Leeds.
Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said: “The continued failure of the company to resolve long-standing industrial relations issues has forced us into this position.
“We would much rather not be here. But the company has brutally, and repeatedly, broken diagramming and roster agreements.
“It has failed to adhere to the agreed bargaining machinery, and totally acted in bad faith.”
He added: “When we make an agreement, we stick to it. This company doesn’t.
“And we are not prepared to put up with their boorish behaviour and bullying tactics.”
