Union plans rail strikes over train safety concerns

The RMT union is planning rail strikes due to ongoing concerns over train safety. The dispute began in April after the introduction of the 810 fleet, with the union seeking to address safety issues. RMT has been in negotiations with the rail operator since then, but an agreement has yet to be reached. The planned strikes are a result of the union's efforts to prioritize train safety and protect passengers and staff.
