Except the pay raise offered is not technically an average of a 5%
What's the technicality? |

Interestingly the quoted "good" employer was a (privatised but regulated) utility company or its sub; the "bad" employer was dear Network Rail or its subs, property of HMG.

What's the technicality? Because the 5% is the headline, it is not a straight 5% now, it is something like 3% now and 2% next year with the strings of "modernisation of maintenance" attached which the Union believe will result in redundancies and de-skilling which in the Unions view will impact of public safety. The offer of staff leisure discount travel is something the Unions in NR» have been seeking for years and do not want to see it as part of pay. |

I know there is a GWR▸ strike planned for the 30th
In the past it was mentioned services early the next day could be impacted
Does anyone know when a finalised timetable for the 31st will be released - or will it be the usual timetable?
The reason I ask I am taking sister and her family to Wembley on the 08:58 train from Weston on the 31st

There is strike action planned for the 30th July but I will point out it is not RMT▸ but rather the Drivers Union ASLEF» . Only RMT drivers will be working and there are not many of them

Yes, if the ASLEF» strike goes ahead, the service is likely to be extremely limited for the affected operators…far more do than the RMT▸ action.

Given the ASLEF strike is on a Saturday, Sunday could go one of two ways…. Either they’ll all volunteer to work to recoup their losses OR they could decide to have a weekend off. If I was a betting man, I’d favour the later |

From GWR▸ - echoing the different groups striking on different days. Services on strike days will be extremely limited, and on Saturday 30th July there will be no GWR services on most of the network. Where trains are able to run we are expecting them to be very busy, and the last services will be much earlier than normal. There will also be disruption on Thursday 28th July and Sunday 31st July. |

My Polish friend is flying back to London on Sunday, so I checked on the trains from Stansted and discovered there was a replacement bus service to Waltham Cross, where she could then get a train. Turns out to be "planned engineering works". She was going to book a seat on National Express, then looked again at her air ticket and saw it was for Luton.The trains there to London look OK.

Rail Strikes to go ahead next Wednesday.
RMT▸ could not agree to ticket office closures and driver only operation.
(there's a surprise).
Can not see any settlement soon.
