Further Disruption To Rail And Bus Services As Transport Strikes Continue Railroad Strikes

Network Rail, several train companies and bus services in London and parts of Surrey will be affected by industrial action by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) unions, TSSA and Unite, which will also affect Sunday morning train services . Train services on Saturday will be significantly reduced, with around a fifth running and half the lines closed. Trains will only operate between approximately 7.30 a.m. and 6.30 p.m. The disruption to bus services in west and south-west London and parts of Surrey is the result of strike action on Friday and Saturday by London bus drivers who are members of Unite, in a separate dispute over pay. Saturday will be the third consecutive day of industrial action for public transport workers this week. Mick Lynch, boss of the RMT union, apologized for the pipeline disruption caused by the strike on Friday but warned it would not be the last if the dispute could not be resolved by negotiations over a new pay deal expected on next year.

Lynch said: “We are very sorry that people have been inconvenienced. We hope people have sympathy for us. We are ordinary men and women who want to do our jobs and provide a service, but when you are being ripped to shreds by an employer and by the government, you have to take a stand. “We cannot stand by and watch our conditions being shredded. So we need to show them that we’re very serious about the future of services across TfL, but also in all our members’ circumstances, because we don’t know what they’re talking about.” Mr Lynch said the union had been excluded from talks between the government, the Treasury and London mayor Sadiq Khan’s office. Responding to Lynch’s claims, Khan said he and the RMT union were “on the same page here, nobody wants the government to impose unreasonable terms on our agreement”. A Department for Transport spokesman accused union leaders of “choosing to cause misery” by disrupting travel. He said: “It is clear that strikes are not the powerful tool they once were and union leaders are no longer able to bring the country to a standstill as, unlike them, the world has changed and people are simply working from home. “All these strikes they’re doing are hurting those people who claim to represent the unions, many of whom will be out of pocket again and forced to miss a day of work.”
