Disruptive rail strikes that cripple Britain's train services could last for months, Mick Lynch warns on LBC Another walkout is coming on July 27

He warned of a "rolling campaign of trade union activity" after his own organisation confirmed another day of mass rail strikes.

The RMT has accused the Government of preventing Network Rail and the train firms from agreeing a deal with the union, while the Government says it is up to the union to sort an arrangement with those organisations. "I'm not bothered - I want to work with the industry leaders to get a settlement to this dispute. We'll do that in a common sense way that everyone can support but we're not just going to surrender and meekly give in to something that is impossible for us to accept.

Andrew Haines, Network Rail chief executive, said: "Despite our best efforts to find a breakthrough, I'm afraid there will be more disruption for passengers next week as the RMT seems hell-bent on continuing their political campaigning, rather than compromising and agreeing a deal for their members.

This will force my hand to work from home. It'll save me £6,000 for a season ticket just from Swindon to Reading. And that is nett of tax. I'll save around £10,000 of my salary.

Well that’s helpful.
