the walkout by members of the aslef union is part of a long running dispute about pay.g advised to check their route before they travel. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. another strike and more disruption for passengers. with the train strike and there's no trains from hungerford to reading. so it is a 2.5 hour bus ride. it is understandable, but inconvenient, i would rather have it resolved quickly. this time it is train drivers walking out. their union says members still haven't been offered a pay rise and the government needs to help resolve the dispute. we don't want other workers suffering, we don't want the general public suffering going forward, but the only way we have got at this moment in time to reinforce our needs, other people's needs is to take the action we are taking. i would like to say we are closer to resolving the dispute, but the original reason for the dispute still exists. some of the operators affected will run no trains at all, while others will only have limited services. it means thousands of people are going to have to rethink

aslef is a different union, the drivers union.omised for nearer christmas, six or eight days of continuous strikes spread over christmas and new year. really, what has happened is that none of these people have had pay rises for two or three years. a lot of money was spent by the government to make sure that rail services continued, quite rightly, it wasn't down to the rail companies, it was down to government. and now the workers want a pay rise. what should really happen is that the government should sort this out because it is a government decision. the railways are largely now within the control of the government, and yet they are refusing, until recently, to speak to the unions. so this dispute has just dragged on. who has the power to make a deal and reach some kind of resolution to this? is it the government, or is the rail delivery group and train operating companies. well, you would think it was the train operating companies. in fact, the government is overhanging all of this. they will not allow the train companies to pa
