RMT Members Overwhelmingly Approve New Rail Pay Deal

The agreement ends a two-year national rail dispute, bringing stability to the UK's transport network.

Rail workers voted in favor of a 4.5% pay rise at Network Rail and a 4.75% increase at train operators for the past year, followed by another 4.5% for 2024/25.
Nearly 99% of train company members and 88% of Network Rail workers supported the pay deal.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) stated that the agreement marks the end of a long-standing national rail dispute.
The deal follows a similar agreement by train drivers in the Aslef union, who accepted a 15% pay rise over three years.
RMT emphasized the importance of public ownership and thanked members for their resilience against the previous government's negotiation tactics.
