Three more train companies’ staff vote to strike, raising fears of major disruption

Airline said move was designed to ‘protect holiday flights’ as it continues to struggle to deliver its schedule

Hundreds of thousands of British Airways passengers are set to see their travel plans upended again after the airline announced it would cancel more than 10,000 flights until the end of October.

At the same time there have been more votes by rail unions to strike at operators including LNER, potentially adding to summer transport disruption.
