Rail unions have warned that improved pay offers will not be sufficient to end their long running dispute amid growing anger over the decision to shut station ticket offices RichardVaughan1 reports
Mr Lynch told the crowd: “We know they’re coming for us. We know they got the RMT in their crosshairs. But I’ll tell you what, it doesn’t matter what they do. It doesn’t matter what legislation they bring in front of us. It doesn’t matter how they try to beat us down. My union will never be bowed and we will never bend the knee to this Tory Government.
Rail minister, Huw Merriman, prompted a rare challenge from Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, on the issue on Thursday, when he claimed “no currently staffed station will become unstaffed as a result of these changes”. Sir Lindsay intervened, telling Mr Merriman that in his Chorley constituency the plans are “only to have someone available nine until four, which is half the time the ticket office was… what you are being told isn’t the case.”
