TWO 24-HOUR strikes have been called by Britain's biggest rail union after a massive vote for action over pay and conditions by 5,000 Network Rail signallers and operational staff.
RMT members will not book on for shifts due to start between 13:00 on Tuesday June 20 and 12:59 on Wednesday June 21, and between 21:00 on Sunday June 25 and 20:59 on Monday June 26.
In a 65 per cent turnout, members voted overwhelmingly to strike after the company failed to budge from a three-year pay offer that would deliver an effective two-year pay freeze and delay for another year a 35-hour week that should have been in place three months ago.
If these go ahead there will severe disruption to all trains all over the country. The network will effectively be shut down.

The 25/26th should still go ahead unless they reach an agreement.
