Passengers are being warned to expect disruption and to only travel if absolutely necessary
More train strikes are set to bring the UK's railways to a standstill once again as the new year gets underway.
Manchester Piccadilly, the second busiest station in the United Kingdom outside London, will see just four trains leave per hour during the RMT strikes on January 3-4, and 6-7. The walk outs will be the latest in an ongoing series of industrial action which has affected train services since last summer.Picket lines will again appear outside railway stations across the country in a repeat of what became a familiar sight last year. Workers are striking over pay disputes, conditions and jobs.
"We have worked with the rail industry to reach successful negotiated settlements ever since privatisation in 1993, and we have achieved deals across the network in 2021 and 2022 where the Department for Transport has no involvement. A Department for Transport spokesperson said: “Passengers have rightly had enough of rail strikes and want the disruption to end. The Government has demonstrated it is being reasonable and stands ready to facilitate a resolution to rail disputes. It’s time the unions came to the table and played their part as well.
