A consultation on implementing minimum service levels for passenger rail services during periods of strike action.

This consultation closes at 11:45pm on 15 May 2023


Consultation description

We are publicly consulting on the most appropriate approach for delivering minimum service levels for passenger rail services.

Minimum service levels (MSLs) aim to limit the impacts of strike action on the lives and livelihoods of the public and to strike a balance between the ability of unions and their members to take strike action with the need for the wider public to be able to access key services during strikes.

We welcome views from anyone that wishes to reply. We will give due regard to consultation responses and move to ensure that regulations are laid as soon as practicable to be in place in the event of future strike action.

Surely a good employer wouldn't need to be considering this sort of option.
