Industry leaders warn customers’ confidence is ‘ebbing away’ as they switch to rival modes of transport
A deal could be close to end the long-running RMT strikes on the railway, industry bosses have told MPs, adding that customers’ confidence is “ebbing away” as they start to switch to rival modes of transport.
Network Rail said the chances of a settlement with the union were “seven out of 10”, with just 2,000 more staff members to persuade to accept. However, the train drivers’ union, Aslef, said there was “zero” chance of an agreement in its separate dispute.
