There is currently a lot of news coverage of strike action in public transport companies.
We understand strike action can be frustrating and confusing for our passengers. Often, Merseyrail is not involved in any strikes, however other operating companies that strike can impact the services which we provide.
We will keep this page updated so you can quickly find out the information you need to help plan your journey.
Below is a summary of all confirmed strike action dates and how they affect Merseyrail. We will keep this page updated with any further dates announced.

Overtime ban dates
From Monday 6 May to Saturday 11 May Aslef members at some train companies will not work overtime.
Overtime bans, and action short of a strike, means some train companies' services may not be running or may be reduced as drivers refuse to work their rest days. Merseyrail services are not affected.
Customers who are travelling outside of the Merseyrail network are advised to check before they travel.
