Commonwealth Games 'deliberately targeted' with rail strikes, says sports minister
Mr Huddleston told the"This has got a huge knock-on impact and I don't think the public are going to be too sympathetic to this," he said.
Simon Weller, Aslef's assistant general secretary, said his members did not want to strike and urged the rail industry to work to resolve the issues.Network Rail has said it could only fund a pay increase from its own budgets by modernising working practices. The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train companies, said strike action would "take money out of an industry" and make it harder to give a pay rise in the future.
Hundreds of extra buses and coaches will be used during the planned strikes alongside 60,000 park and ride spaces,Travel West Midlands said it was "confident that anyone wanting to come to the Games will have a fantastic experience".
