LONDON (Reuters) - British rail workers at three train operators will take strike action between Dec. 26-29 in a dispute over pay and job security, disrupting rail services in central and southwest England, a union said on Wednesday.

Rail workers from CrossCountry, Great Western Railway and West Midlands Trains will each strike for 24 hours, the TSSA union said, adding to a winter of industrial action in Britain.
