Train strikes: Travellers facing disruption as rail workers walk out

Josh Coe, from the Rail Delivery Group, which represents the 14 affected train companies, said: “We’ve been negotiating with the leaders of the RMT now for over a year and it’s a real shame that the offer we made to them worth 13% in terms of an increase in pay for the lowest paid is not being put to their membership which would have brought this industrial dispute to an end.”
