The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), representing the 14 train operating companies (TOCs) in dispute with the RMT, tabled an offer of a 4 per cent pay rise of both 2022 and 2023.
The proposal also promises there would be no compulsory redundancies before April 2024.
When announcing the pay offer, a spokesperson for the RDG said: "This is a fair and affordable offer in challenging times, providing a significant uplift in salary for staff. If approved by the RMT, implementation could be fast-tracked to ensure staff go into Christmas secure in the knowledge that they will receive this enhanced pay award early in the new year alongside a guarantee of job security until April 2024." But a deal would be contingent on reforms including ticket office closures and an increase in drivers controlling the doors on trains (known as DOO).
