Rail Delivery Group responds to ASLEF calling for further strikes

A Rail Delivery Group Spokesperson said: "Nobody wins when industrial action impacts people's lives and livelihoods, and we will work hard to minimise any disruption to our passengers.

“We want to resolve this dispute, but the ASLEF leadership need to recognise that hard-pressed taxpayers are continuing to contribute an extra £54 million a week just to keep services running post covid. We continue to seek an agreement with the ASLEF leadership and remain open to talks to find a solution to this dispute."
