Train passengers warned of further rail strikes as union boss can't say how long they will go on

The general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) Union has said he is unsure of how long the rail strikes will go on for.

Speaking on the picket line outside Euston station, Mick Lynch commented on the current dispute between RMT members and Network Rail alongside 14 train operating companies over pay, jobs and working conditions. With no concessions on either side to be seen, more strikes are planned in the coming days with a wave of industrial action planned next month on the railways and London Underground.

Despite the ongoing disruptions to Britain's rail lines, Mr Lynch stressed that the union's members are determined to secure a decent pay rise, job security and good working conditions.
