The RMT union has announced more strikes over the Christmas period with workers set to walk out on Christmas eve.

The move comes after the union urged workers to reject the latest pay offer.

Network Rail’s chief negotiator, Tim Shoveller, said the RMT was “playing fast and loose with people’s Christmas plans”

Meanwhile RMT general secretary Mick Lynch told the BBC’s Today programme that “this inconvenience is being caused by the government who are running the playbook”.
