I've just text the lead officer asking him if I could borrow some of his celebs for my next branch meeting.

The DFT have not given Train Operating Companies permission to start discussing pay as per the agreement with RMT. Putting them in breach of the agreement.
Us RMT members might be going back out on strike shortly thanks to government incompetence.

Government Accused of ‘Cover Up’ of Its Deal With One of Britain’s Worst Train Companies | Novara Media
Exclusive: The department for transport has refused a request to publish the terms of service for Avanti West Coast, claiming it would cause 'misinterpretation and confusion'.

Avanti don't want the RMT to know how much "free money" they are getting.

As it's looking like the Tories are hanging on.
Expect another ballot shortly.
TSSA and Unite are discussing one as they have re-engaged on their agreements.
Meanwhile the offers to RMT have been so hilariously bad.
Enforcement of OT without pay in disruption being a doozy.
Removal of regular rest day pattern. Days off to be determined by business needs is another.

Of course they should be supported. Its not just about pay its about conditions and the state of the railways. We are running a pre-WW2 service at massive cost. Just go on YT and looks at VLOGs from train travellers and compare here with.........well anywhere. Europe has fast quiet modern sleek trains at affordable prices (partly because Brits are subsidising them because they could identify the privatisation dodge) but I just watched one seasoned traveller who went Standard Class ( felt like first class she said ) non stop from Madrid to Malaga on a High Speed Train - 18 Euro's.
I went from Albufeira to Lisbon last year €43 return on the high speed train, first class going standard coming back I honestly could tell the difference both were excellent for comfort and leg room, great service.
