Rail passengers told to avoid Christmas Eve travel
Rail passengers are being warned to avoid travel on Christmas Eve when further strike action over pay and conditions is due to take place.
Network Rail added that some rail companies will be unable to run any services on Christmas Eve, with further "significant impacts" between Christmas and New Year. Previous strikes by the RMT have had a major impact on services throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Union members have rejected offers in a dispute over pay, job security and working conditions.Network Rail said the industrial action meant some rail companies would be unable to run any services on 24 December, with "very limited" services on Boxing Day also.
But RMT general secretary Mick Lynch has described Network Rail's pay offer to workers as "substandard".
