Extra rail strikes have been scheduled over the Christmas period, with the RMT union confirming that previously planned industrial action will still go ahead.
The union will be instructing its members not to work from 18:00 on 24 December until 06:00 on 27 December.The RMT said industrial action set to begin next week, with dates in December and January, will proceed as planned.
Other proposals by the group included drivers operating the train doors in more areas, though it insisted that guards would remain on board. Its offer is separate to negotiations taking place with Network Rail, which maintains the railways throughout Britain and employs maintenance and signal workers, which represent about half the workers involved in the dispute.
