RMT has announced further strike action across 14 train operators in a long-running dispute over pay, pensions and working conditions.

Around 20,000 union members are expected to walk out on two dates in August and September.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "The mood among our members remains solid and determined in our national dispute over pay job security and working conditions. 

“We have had to call further strike action as we have received no improved or revised offer from the Rail Delivery Group.

“The reason for this is the government has not allowed them a fresh mandate on which discussions could be held.

“Our members and our union will continue fighting until we can reach a negotiated and just settlement.
