Train drivers on darts, commuter and inter-city services are threatening to walk off the job for three hours next Friday and Friday the 6th of November in a row over pay.
If the strike goes ahead it would cause massive disruption to commuters.

Negotiations are taking place at the Working Relations Commission formerly known as the LRC.
