The group representing rail companies, RDG, made the offer in a bid to avert the festive period strikes, but the RMT union said it was result in widespread job losses.
The RDG said the offer it made on Sunday included a 4 per cent pay rise, back dated to 2022, followed by another 4 per cent next year.
“The RDG and Department of Transport, who sets their mandate, both knew this offer would not be acceptable to RMT members. He called on RDG to meet urgently on Monday morning with a view to “securing a negotiated settlement on job security, working conditions and pay”.
