PASSENGERS are being warned of disruption on the West Coast Main Line due to industrial action.

Members of the TSSA trade union will strike on 10th and 11th July as part of an ongoing dispute over rest day working arrangements.

London Northwestern Railway said services on a number of its routes would be impacted by the walkout.

Jonny Wiseman, the operator's customer experience director, said:

> "We are disappointed TSSA has called further unnecessary strike action which is set to cause significant disruption for our customers.  
>  
> "We are working hard to reach a resolution to this dispute and urge TSSA to continue talks.  
>  
> "We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause our customers and we are doing everything we can to minimise the impact as much as possible.  
>  
> "If the strike action does go ahead we will be running a significantly reduced timetable on both dates. Customers are advised to check before they travel by visiting journey planners and our website.”

Some disruption to services is also expected on the morning of 12th July due to displacement of trains.

This is the second round of strikes in the dispute after similar action was taken in May this year.

TSSA general secretary Maryam Eslamdoust said:

> "These strikes will go ahead as planned because our members have not been given parity with those in other unions – a perfectly reasonable demand.   
>  
> "As things stand we face an intolerable situation. Our reps have consulted the membership and they remain determined to proceed with their legitimate action.   
>  
> "The last round of industrial action caused a significant impact to services and the same will happen this time around.  
>  
> "Of course, as ever our union only takes strike action as a last resort, so we hope that our demands can be met in coming days to avoid any more disruption."
