The RMT Union have announced a series of 48 hour strikes on:

• Tuesday 13^th and Wednesday 14^th December
• Friday 16^th and Saturday 17^th December
• Tuesday 3^rd and Wednesday 4^th January
• Friday 6^th and Saturday 7^th January

In addition, an overtime ban is in place from Sunday 18^th December to Monday 2^nd January.

This will affect a number of rail operating companies, including Network Rail, and is likely to cause severe disruption. The Supply Chain team is working hard to mitigate the impact to our operations wherever possible and is in contact with the relevant business areas around this.

However, for employees who are planning to use the rail network on the above dates, for instance for meetings or training, it is worth exploring alternative methods of transport or potentially rescheduling.
