Train services are due to begin later on Tuesday following the latest round of strikes by railway workers.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Members of the RMT union working for Network Rail will end a strike at 06:00 GMT on December 27th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, this means that many trains only start running between 09:00 and 12:00. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Network Rail said 70% of services will be operational but urged passengers to check their travel times with train companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cStaff are returning to work, that’s the way it is [a] much later start for passenger services,” said a spokesman for Network Rail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Passengers should really do their research before they travel so they don’t just show up at a station where there are no trains.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ScotRail said it would start restoring some services from around 7.15am but warned there would be disruption throughout the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Services will begin later than normal on routes across the country as signal boxes open at different times following labor disputes,” it said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

  • Who is on strike and what wage claims do they have?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Thousands of RMT members at Network Rail, which operates and maintains the rail system, and 14 rail companies have been involved in consecutive strikes over pay and conditions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    It coincides with major industrial unrest across a range of sectors, including nurses and ambulance drivers and border guards at six of Britain’s busiest airports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Employees go for pay at a time when price growth, or inflation, is at a 40-year high.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Rail strikes resume between January 3-4 and January 6-7. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    In the meantime, there is a ban on overtime for RMT members at 14 railway companies, which is to apply until January 2nd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Network Rail said 70% of normal services will operate on Tuesday, rising to 90% in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    However, this is expected to drop to 20% of normal services once the next series of strikes begin in early January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Mick Lynch, General Secretary of the RMT said: \u201cThe union remains available to discuss this dispute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    “But until the government gives the rail industry a mandate to come to a negotiated settlement on job security, pay and working conditions, our industrial campaign will continue into the new year if necessary.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    A Network Rail spokesman said: \u201cThe only way we can resolve labor disputes is through negotiation and talks, so of course we will try to sit around the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    “It’s just unclear at the moment where we can go as all the cards we have to deal are already on the table.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
