Too much going on to put everything under the nation-wide train strike thread.
This is where we can put strikes which only affect one company, region, or area.
I don't know about them all, so please chip in.

To add to Nigel's statement about Greater Anglia above, this is the company that provides services to Stansted Airport, used by many low-cost airline flights between England and mainland European countries. If you have a flight booked that day, reserve a bus trip or cab journey now.

Update on four companies -
From a local paper -
Strike ballots are to be held again at four train companies where
workers recently voted in favour but the legal threshold was narrowly
missed.The Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association said new ballots will be
held at West Midlands Trains, Greater Anglia, Northern and
TransPennine Express.Voting starts on July 28 and will end on August 25.
The original ballot of members saw the legal threshold for strike
action, 40% of the entire electorate, missed by fine margins and in
one case by just a single vote, said the union.
