MYSTERIOUS: Further disruption for rail services despite strikes being called off - You Need To See This

Rail services will continue to be disrupted today (Monday, November 7) despite a series of planned strikes being called off.

Passengers are being warned to check with train operators before they travel with some still expected to run a reduced timetable due to the change coming at such short notice. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) and Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) were set to stage walkouts in the coming few days in a long running dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.

But RMT suspended the strikes, saying it had secured “unconditional” talks with Network Rail (NR) and the promise of a pay offer from the train operating companies. The union said the dispute remains “very much live” and it is continuing its re-ballot of members to secure a fresh mandate for action with the result due on 15 November.
