Train drivers vote to continue strikes

Drivers have voted to continue their strikes at Hull Trains for a further six months.

Walkouts have been taking place since March 2025 after the union Aslef claimed a driver had been unfairly sacked for raising a safety concern.

A spokesperson for Hull Trains said the move was "disappointing" and the company had tabled "a number of proposals for a resolution of this matter".

The union said 90% of its members entitled to vote took part in the ballot, with 95% of those voting in favour of industrial action.

Hull Trains has consistently denied the union's claims and said it had put forward solutions to end the dispute.

A spokesperson said: "We remain committed to further, open dialogue to resolve this situation. The safety of our customers remains our number one priority."
