(Picture: PA Archive)Network Rail boss Sir Peter Hendy told on Monday how he had spoken with Boris Johnson about this week’s rail strikes - an admission likely to spark fresh demands for ministers to hold direct talks with unions to avert them.
Sir Peter, who used to run Transport for London, backed the Government’s stance that reforms are needed given that the number of people using the rail system had fallen after the Covid pandemic, with more people working from home.
