Headline: Train Drivers Agree to Pay Deal, Concluding Two-Year Dispute with 16 Rail Companies
Caption: Train drivers have officially accepted a multi-year pay deal, ending a two-year dispute with 16 rail companies. ASLEF, the train drivers' union, voted 96% in favor of the deal, which includes a 15% pay increase over three years. The new Labour government made the offer shortly after winning the general election resolving what ASLEF called the "longest train drivers' strike" in recent history.
