Everything you need to know about the upcoming rail strikes:
He said:"Network Rail have not made any improvement on their previous pay offer and the train companies have not offered us anything new.
"In fact Network Rail have upped the ante, threatening to impose compulsory redundancies and unsafe 50% cuts to maintenance work if we did not withdraw our planned strike action. "The train operating companies have put driver-only operations on the table along with ransacking our members’ terms and conditions."
Andrew Haines, Network Rail chief executive, said:"Despite our best efforts to find a breakthrough, I’m afraid there will be more disruption for passengers this week as the RMT seems hell-bent on continuing their political campaigning, rather than compromising and agreeing a deal for their members."The strikes are set to take place on July 27 and 30, and August 18 and 20.
The strikes on July 27, August 18 and August 20 involve members of the RMT, who walked out last month, while those on July 30 involve train drivers who are members of ASLEF.Those planning to travel are asked to plan ahead and only travel if necessary. It's also a good idea to check the status of the train you are planning to travel on by visiting the website of your train operating company. Twitter and Facebook are also good platforms to check updates on.
