Train drivers across 15 rail companies will stage a fresh strike on 5 January in a long-running row over pay, according to the Aslef union.

The walkout will go ahead between strikes already announced by the RMT rail union, running between 3-4 and 6-7 January.

Aslef said that train drivers had voted overwhelmingly to take action.

Its general secretary said: "We don't want to go on strike but the companies have pushed us into this place."
