Disruption expected as rail workers walk out
Members of the RMT union at 14 rail companies are striking on Thursday as part of a long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.The operators are based in England but some run services into Wales and Scotland.
The plans, which have faced criticism, are the latest flashpoint for train operators, which are also in a deadlocked dispute with unions over reforms.Following the impact of the Covid pandemic, the industry faces pressure from the government to cut costs. She added that the industry "can't afford for the industry to stand still", and would "continue with reform".Train firms are pressing ahead with plans to close the majority of ticket offices in England.
Five Labour mayors are preparing a legal challenge, saying the 21-day timescale for the consultation was "totally inadequate". Last week, Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle challenged rail minister Huw Merriman over the planned closures.
