Train strikes cancelled: RMT suspends planned walkout in boost for Britons fearing Christmas chaos

Britons haved received a festive boost as the RMT cancelled its scheduled train strikes after receiving a revised offer from Avanti West Coast.

Avanti West Coast travellers were set for Christmas chaos with strike action planned for December 22, 23 and 29.

However, the RMT this morning confirmed train managers will now vote on Avanti West Coast's new offer.

The trade union confirmed that the new offer contains enhanced Rest Day Working payments, discussions on a new technology agreement and the creation of a Rest Day Working allocation agreement.
