TRAVELLERS face rail distress this week as ministers urge a pay deal is put to members to resolve the long-running dispute.
Practice drivers' union Aslef should give its members a say on the deal that might see their average wage rise to £65,000.
A rolling programme of strikes starts tomorrow throughout the network and an extra time ban kicks in from in the present day for 9 days.
A Department for Transport spokesperson stated: "Aslef's management is refusing to let their members vote on a suggestion that might see the typical practice driver's wage improve to £65,000.
"Aslef bosses ought to put it to their members so we will resolve the dispute, which has already occurred with the RMT, TSSA and Unite unions."
But no practice working corporations will implement the new minimum service rules which would permit for 40 per cent of trains to run infuriating passengers.
One-day industrial action throughout 17 totally different practice operating corporations between Tuesday and February 5 will take place.
An extra time ban across all practice corporations from as we speak to Tuesday February 6 might lead to short-notice cancellations.
Passengers have been urged to verify earlier than they journey as there shall be modifications to providers across giant elements of the network.
Aslef boss Mick Whelan stated: "It's arising for five years for many drivers and not using a pay rise.

"Crass ostrich-type behaviour by these in government who haven't any position in our wages or collective bargaining are at the root of all the problems this business has."
