Passengers warned not to travel by train next week
Train passengers are to be told to only travel next week if it is absolutely necessary, even if rail worker strikes are called off at the last minute.
Disruption will be inevitable even if strikes are aborted because of how long it takes to restore a normal timetable. They will then be joined by workers at the train companies for strikes on 3-4 January and 6-7 January. The RMT is involved in two negotiating battles, one with Network Rail, where it represents signallers and maintenance workers, and the other with the Rail Delivery Group , which represents the 14 train companies.It has decided to put Network Rail's offer, which includes a 5% pay rise this year and a 4% rise next year, to its members in an electronic referendum, but has called for it to be rejected.Even if they are cancelled, significant disruption now looks inevitable.
But we won't know the result of that electronic referendum until Monday afternoon, the eve of the first 48-hour strike.The rail industry is not the only sector facing strike action, with postal workers, bus drivers, teachers and nurses all set to walk out this month. Ambulance staff across many parts of England and Wales are also set to strike on 21 and 28 December.
He said the dispute was not just about pay, but about reforming the railways, as fewer people were using trains compared to before the pandemic.
