TRAVELLERS face rail misery this week as ministers urge a pay deal is put to members to resolve the long-running dispute.
Practice drivers' union Aslef should give its members a say on the deal that might see their common wage rise to £65,000.
A rolling programme of strikes begins tomorrow throughout the community and an additional time ban kicks in from at this time for nine days.
A Department for Transport spokesperson stated: "Aslef's leadership is refusing to let their members vote on a suggestion that might see the typical practice driver's salary improve to £65,000.

But no practice working corporations will implement the new minimum service guidelines which might permit for 40 per cent of trains to run infuriating passengers.
One-day industrial motion across 17 totally different practice operating corporations between Tuesday and February 5 will take place.
An additional time ban throughout all practice corporations from immediately to Tuesday February 6 might lead to short-notice cancellations.
Passengers have been urged to verify before they journey as there will probably be modifications to providers across giant elements of the network.
Aslef boss Mick Whelan stated: "It's arising for five years for many drivers and not using a pay rise.
"We've entered talks only to be handled with utter contempt and deceit.
"Crass ostrich-type behaviour by these in authorities who haven't any position in our wages or collective bargaining are on the root of all the issues this business has."
