“We don’t want to be painted as miseries, and grinches. We’ve been careful not to put any strike on during the Christmas period.”
Mr Lynch said the string of strikes would send "a clear message" that rail workers want a better deal on pay and working conditions.
It's but the latest wave of strikes set out by workers, following balloted strike action already announced by members of the civil service and nurses union. “While we will remain available for meaningful negotiations it is now obvious that the other side is unwilling or unable to progress matters appropriately, so our action will be reinstated.”
The works will provide vital improvements and routine maintenance for a more reliable railway in the long-term, Network Rail said. Network Rail carries out the work during holidays as fewer people usually travel by train.
