Train strikes may 2024

If you're planning to travel by train in May 2024, you should be aware that there is a high likelihood of strikes. The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), which represents more than 40,000 rail workers, has voted overwhelmingly in favor of industrial action unless the government meets its demands.

The RMT is demanding a pay increase, a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies, and a review of the role of guards on trains. The government has said that it is willing to negotiate, but it has also said that it will not agree to any demands that would cost more than 1%.

The strikes are likely to cause significant disruption to rail services. If you are planning to travel by train in May 2024, you should make alternative arrangements in case your train is canceled or delayed.
