Find out if there are any train strikes in the first week of April, including the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th as the industrial action continues.
One of Britain’s rail unions, the TSSA, accepted a deal from the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) and ended their dispute over pay and working conditions.
However, the Rail, Marine and Transport Union (RMT) and ASLEF are still in dispute, meaning strikes are still taking place.
The RMT wants a pay rise for its members that reflects inflation and have rejected numerous deals which they deem insufficient.
A new round of train strikes is about to start in Britain. Here are all the dates you need to know…
Are there train strikes on April 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th?
No. There are no train strikes planned on Monday, April 3, Tuesday 4, Wednesday 5, or Thursday 6.
However, there is a walkout the weekend before, on Saturday, April 1. RMT members across 14 train operating companies are striking.
This is the last organised strike date in the UK when writing this. Services may also be deleted on Sunday, April 2 as the network recovers.

All of them have been organised by the RMT and workers will be walking out from 12.01am to 11.59pm on the above dates.
