Published On Jan 16, 2025, 11:54 AM

Planned strike action by RMT members at Avanti West Coast has been suspended for the remainder of January 2024 to allow for negotiations between the union and the train operator. However, strikes are still scheduled to resume starting February 2nd and continuing every Sunday until May 25 unless a resolution is reached. The union's suspension reflects an intention to negotiate a settlement to address disputes over working conditions and pay.
