Even MORE rail strikes to cause misery for commuters as train drivers at three firms to walk out over pay
BRITS face more travel chaos after more trail strikes were announced.
Drivers from three train firms have voted to take strike action in disputes over wages.
Members of Aslef at Chiltern, Northern and TransPennine Express have backed walkouts as part of long-running row affecting the industry.
The industrial action comes just one week after the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) workers strikes, which caused misery for commuters across London.
There were severe traffic jams as commuters jumped in their cars, and huge crowds could be seen lining the roadside while queuing for buses.
Today, the companies' votes were all more than 9-1 in favour of strikes, with turnouts of over 80 per cent.

Mick Whelan, general secretary of Aslef, said: "You can see from the votes - and the turnouts - just how angry our members are.
"With inflation running at north of 10 per cent - and set to go much higher - several train companies are saying that they want their drivers to take a real-terms pay cut. Their attitude is 'suck it up' - and that stinks.
"We now have mandates at 12 companies.
"After our one-day strike on August 13, the Rail Delivery Group, the pressure group which represents the interests of the privatised train operating companies, asked for talks. Those talks were strained, but quite constructive.
"There were no concrete proposals but dialogue will, we hope, continue."
