RMT union members at Network Rail will resume strikes over pay and conditions on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 January.

Their latest walkout ended at 06:00 GMT on Tuesday - But delays continued into the afternoon as services got back up and running. The late handover of engineering works also caused some disruption, including at Paddington.

Network Rail said the " industrial action means rail travel will be significantly disrupted throughout December and January".

The TSSA strikes are part of a long-running campaign for a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies, no unagreed changes to terms and conditions, and a pay increase which addresses The Rising cost of living.

Members at Great Western Railway Go On strike from noon on Wednesday to 11:59 GMT on Thursday, and at West Midlands Trains from noon on Wednesday to noon on Thursday.

The Strikes involve staff who work in customer Service Management , driver management, training, control, customer communications, safety, timetabling and planning.

The Union said it believes these walkouts will severely affect services at CrossCountry, which run from Penzance to The Midlands , Wales and northern England through to Scottish cities as Far North as Aberdeen.

TSSA organising director Nadine Rae that members did not want to strike " But they are sick and tired of being taken for granted".

The Department for Transport had urged unions to " to step back, reconsider and get back round The Table , so we can start 2023 by ending this damaging dispute. "
