Hopes of a major breakthrough in the rail dispute have been shattered after Network Rail workers rejected a pay offer.

“The Government is refusing to lift a finger to prevent these strikes and it is clear they want to make effective strike action illegal in Britain. The RMT’s executive recommended rejecting the offer, saying it was linked to “significant” changes to working practices.Passengers planning to travel on Christmas Eve will likely be urged to complete their journeys by the time industrial action begins.
Network Rail chief executive Andrew Haines said: “The RMT leadership needs to think long and hard about what to do next. Further strike action will cause further misery for the rail industry and for their members who will lose pay. “Sadly, with strikes now set to go ahead, passengers can expect to see widespread rail disruption throughout the week. We will continue to work closely with operators to run as many services as possible but we continue to ask passengers to only travel if absolutely necessary.”
