As part of a protracted dispute over pay and working conditions, thousands of rail workers will go on strike for three days in July.
The RMT union announced that strikes have been called for July 20, 22, and 29 at 14 rail companies.
It claimed talks with the government and rail companies had come to a standstill.
Unions are requesting higher pay as the cost of living is rapidly rising, but rail companies have stated that they will not pay more without making changes to the conditions of employment.
After train operators did not make a new pay offer, the RMT predicted that 20,000 of its members would strike.
Mick Lynch, the organization's general secretary, claimed that neither the government nor the train companies had "made any attempt whatsoever to arrange any meetings or put forward a decent offer that can help us reach a negotiated solution.".
He continued, "The government continues to shackle the companies and won't let them present a package that can settle this dispute.
