An overtime ban will be put in place for ASLEF workers as rail workers strike in December.

The overtime ban will be in place from Friday, December 1 through to Saturday, December 9.

Southeastern has said that despite this, it still expects to run a full service during this time.

However, on Wednesday, December 6 there will be no Southeastern trains due to strike action.

If the strike is cancelled at short notice, Southeastern has said that it may not be able to return to a normal timetable straight away.

A Southeastern Railway spokesperson said: “ASLEF Strike action is due to take place across the Southeastern network on Wednesday, December 6.

“There’ll be no Southeastern trains from our stations.

“ASLEF is also putting in place an overtime ban between Friday 1 & Saturday 9 December but we expect to operate a full service during this time.

“If the strike action is cancelled at short notice, we may not be able to switch back to our normal timetable immediately.”
