Aslef union members at 13 rail companies walk out on Wednesday in a row over pay and conditions.
Rail services in the UK are being disrupted as around 9,000 train drivers in the Aslef union take part in another large-scale strike on Wednesday.
The Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen strike is the latest in a series of actions, as unions representing rail workers battle the government and companies over pay, job cuts and changes to terms and conditions. Daniel Mann, director of industry operations at the Rail Delivery Group, which represents industry operators, said the strikes would hurt passengers, undermine businesses and "further damage the railway's recovery".
On Tuesday, the Transport Secretary also told the Conservative party conference that she had asked the rail industry to launch consultations on reforming ticket office provision.
