RAIL union RMT has suspended planned strike action on Avanti West Coast services for the next two Sundays to allow for intensive talks.

The next two dates, Sunday 19 and Sunday 26, have been called off while negotiations take place.

An Avanti West Coast spokesperson: “We are pleased that the RMT has made the decision to suspend planned industrial action on Sunday 19 and Sunday 26 January.

“We remain open to working with them to resolve this dispute.”
