Mick Whelan, Aslef’s general secretary, said: “The company’s failure to act responsibly has impacts not just for rail workers and passengers at Hull Trains but right across the wider rail industry.
Aslef says Hull Trains “unfairly sacked a train driver who raised a safety concern and has done nothing wrong”.
Hull Trains is owned by FirstGroup, the rail and bus giant which also part-owns Avanti West Coast – where train managers are striking every Sunday until June.
Aslef union says rail firm ‘unfairly sacked a train driver who raised a safety concern’.
Normally Hull Trains would run 14 trains on Fridays and 12 on Saturdays, connecting its home city with London King’s Cross via Doncaster and Grantham.
