Will there be more RMT strikes?, the RMT said that it had received a reply from the Rail Delivery Group – which represents the rail companies – to a “roadmap” it had suggested to break the deadlock in its long-running dispute over pay and working conditions.A one-year pay proposal for all companies covering the year 2022-23, with an underpin, backdated to the relevant anniversary dates in 2022.

“While it is encouraging that the train-operating companies want to continue dialogue with us next week, a fresh proposal will be needed to progress this dispute towards a settlement. Mr Lynch confirmed that in the meantime “our industrial campaign will continue until reach a negotiated settlement”, so passengers with the 14 train companies covered by the strikes can expect more walkouts to come.
