General Interest

Following news that the RMT has announced further strikes on the Merseyrail network every Saturday from 2 November to 28 December inclusive, a Merseyrail spokesperson said:
“We are extremely disappointed that the recent exploratory technical workshops between the RMT, ourselves and Merseytravel have resulted in the announcement of further strike action.
“It is especially disappointing given that there is now a guarantee of a guard on every new train with a safety critical role and that we were so close to an agreement to end this dispute.
“Our priority now is to run the best possible service on the upcoming strike days and communicate the arrangements with our passengers as soon as possible.”
