Planned strikes by train managers at Avanti West Coast have been suspended to enable negotiations aimed at resolving a long-standing dispute concerning rest day working. The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) had initiated strike action for the next three Sundays, but the suspension was labeled a "breakthrough" by the RMT. General Secretary Mick Lynch highlighted the necessity for Avanti to show a willingness to compromise. Avanti, in turn, expressed readiness to collaborate with the union and noted that ticket sales could resume as normal operations could commence on Sundays during this negotiation period.
