Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan says all sides need to get together to find a solution.

The new transport secretary has said train companies must be prepared to make compromises to bring an end to the strikes that have crippled the network."I want everyone to come round the table and find solutions and make compromises where we need to."

Mick Lynch, head of the RMT union, said last week that his meeting with Ms Trevelyan had been a "good start" but "concrete change" was needed.Asked if she felt more hopeful of a breakthrough after her meeting with the unions, Ms Trevelyan said: "I hope that we can find somewhere we can land."

Surely its train workers and management (As a company) not Gov to get involved. That just says they want Gov handouts for private firms which should be; NO. Sort your own firm out. Let us know what you have decided.

The offer that's been put forward is an insult to workers. 8% over 2 years(actually 5 years) and only actually 6% unless Mass redundancy and closures happen. The tories are making the railway unsafe and inaccessible in the name of profits for the rich franchises.

I thought Liz wants high-paid jobs?
