This suspension reflects our good will and commitment to finding a resolution to this rest day working dispute. We are responding to overtures from Avanti and hope meaningful progress towards a negotiated settlement can be made during these talks.
Train companies have chosen to pay their own managers 'extortionate rates' for working on their days off while union members are paid lower rates.
The initial plans for strikes in the run-up to Christmas 2024 were called off last-minute after a revised proposal was rejected by 83% of RMT members.
Avanti has expressed its disappointment regarding the strikes and has advised customers to travel 'either side of strike dates or claim a full refund.'
