Train strikes: Are services still disrupted?

, rail operators say services are still facing some disruption because they need to move trains around and make staff available at short notice.across the country - some operators, such as Greater Anglia and Hull Trains, say they are running full services on Monday, but others - including West Midlands Railway and Great Western Railway - are still operating a reduced timetable.

There is also other industrial action taking place - the Transport Salaried Staff Association union is holding a number of strikesAnd in a separate dispute, RMT rail workers at London Underground and London Overground will strike onThe unions are in dispute with the government and rail companies about pay, job cuts and changes to terms and conditions.The RMT has also claimed Network Rail plans to cut 2,500 maintenance jobs, as it tries to save £2bn over the next two years.

Network Rail has said there would be no more than 2,000 job losses - and that all redundancies could be voluntary. It said it would not consider any changes that would make the railways less safe., the RMT said it had now been promised an offer from the train operating companies. Steve Montgomery, chair of the Rail Delivery Group, said on Thursday that the train companies were "working up to" making an offer to the trade unions.The TSSA is also demanding a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies and no changes to terms and conditions to which it has not agreed.The government said the railway system needed modernisation and had to be financially sustainable for the long term.

The RMT said that figure was still too high because it excluded rail cleaning staff who are not categorised as rail workers by the ONS.

And even the day after too…..Tuesday the 8th and trains are not back to normal and on Wednesday they’ll be preparing for the now cancelled strikes on Thursday so the whole week will likely be disrupted. I’m sympathetic to the strikes but not the unjustified disruption this week
