Rail services will continue to be disrupted today (Monday November 7), despite planned strikes being called off.
Passengers are being warned to check with train operators before they travel with some still expected to run a reduced timetable due to the move coming at such short notice. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) and Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) were set to stage walkouts in the coming few days in a long running dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.
But RMT suspended the strikes, saying it had secured “unconditional” talks with Network Rail (NR) and the promise of a pay offer from the train operating companies. A spokesperson for the Rail Delivery Group said advice remains to check before travelling.
