The offer was aimed at ending a long-running pay dispute.

Rail workers are to strike next month after the RMT union rejected the latest pay deal from train operators.

This would be followed by a second year's pay increase dependent on those reforms being negotiated at individual operators. Any hopes the RMT's dispute with 14 train companies was close to being solved, have now been dashed. It's very much not over - unlike the dispute with Network Rail, which saw signallers and maintenance staff accept a deal in March.

Train companies' separate dispute with the train drivers' union Aslef has never looked close to a resolution, and today it announced three more strike dates.
