A MONTH-LONG strike to defend the role of the guard on South Western Railway (SWR) services started up again yesterday after a 24-hour break.
Rail workers belonging to the RMT union have resumed their strike and are demanding that SWR management abandon any commitment to driver-only operations (DOO) on their trains.
The union’s general secretary Mick Cash also announced that the union will be balloting the members for a sixth round of strike action.
