RAIL workers are set to strike this weekend in three separate disputes over issues including pay and rosters.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are embroiled in a series of rows with train operators which have sparked industrial action.

RMT members working as conductors on the TransPennine Express (TPE) will walk out for 24 hours on Sunday over pay, which will lead to a number of services being disrupted.

TPE urged customers to consider if their journey is necessary and to avoid travel if possible.

Train managers and senior conductors on CrossCountry will be striking on Saturday in a long-running battle over jobs and safety.

The company said there will be a “very limited” timetable, with the cancellation of many services.

“Customers are strongly advised to alter their plans and avoid travelling on Saturday,” CrossCountry said a statement.

RMT members on London Underground’s Night Tube are taking action again this weekend in a deadlocked dispute over shifts.

Overnight strikes are planned on the Central and Victoria lines every Friday and Saturday until mid June.

Transport for London (TfL) said that since changes to rosters were implemented, they have been a positive change for the organisation and staff.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The common thread that runs through these three disputes is a refusal by RMT members to accept that the employer can hammer down on pay, safety, jobs and working conditions at will.

“‎They are about the defence of livelihoods, working conditions, safety and agreements that the management side are seeking to rip apart regardless of the implications for both staff and passengers.

“The other common thread is the abject failure to engage in serious talks. RMT stands ready for genuine negotiations on all fronts but in the meantime our action goes ahead exactly as planned.”
