Railways Just 20% of normal services to run today
The Guardian
|December 17, 2022
Rail passengers face another day of reduced services today as thousands of RMT staff continue a 48-hour strike. People have been urged to only attempt travel if absolutely necessary on the last full weekend before Christmas, with only a skeleton service running and all trains ending by the early evening.
Rail firms advised passengers to plan ahead and check online for updates, with only about 20% of normal services running between 7.30am and 6.30pm today, and no trains at all in some areas. Disruption is expected to continue into Sunday morning.
Thousands of RMT members at Network Rail and 14 train operators – joined by TSSA members at six operators – will walk out today in the continuing dispute over pay and conditions.
It will be the last strike before Christmas Eve, giving some opportunity next week for people wishing to travel. However, an overtime ban starting for RMT train staff from tomorrow will continue to affect services until January, with severe disruption on operators including Chiltern Railways and South Western Railway.
