on the trans pennine express website there is a notice which is the following:

``We are disappointed that our driver colleagues represented by ASLEF have voted in favour of industrial action. They have informed us that they intend to strike from 00:01 to 23:59 on Wed 24 August and 00:01 to 23:59 on Fri 26 August.''

The RMT are also going on strike on the same days, so there will be very few, if any, TP services running on those days although I believe there are further talks taking place next Monday
