    Why aren’t the freight drivers striking along with the passenger drivers ?

    Well I've no idea but maybe they're in a different union.

    Either a different union or the ASLEF has come to an agreement with that particular operator.

    Freight services are operated by different companies to passenger services so they may have made agreements already.

    Not all passenger companies are striking. Some have already reached an agreement with the union(s).
