The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) initiated a strike affecting routes from London Euston to key West Midlands hubs, leading to decreased services.
An RMT spokesperson criticized the replacement managers' pay of around £500 per shift, highlighting the disparity with Avanti members who earn approximately half while delivering less.
Avanti West Coast expressed disappointment about the RMT's strike action, reinforcing the conflict between the union's objectives and the railway management's response.
Strikes may continue to impact services throughout the year, with the RMT planning further action on Sundays from January 12 to May 25.
