Anne Marie Trevelyan, Mr Lynch said he was hopeful that a deal can be reached between the the union and the rail companies.
A spokesperson from the Department of Transport responded by urging union bosses to "work with their employers, not against them" in agreeing a way forward. "We urge employers and government to bring forward talks to find a resolution to the concerns that rail workers have over pay, conditions and job security," Mr Cortes said.Passengers who must travel on Saturday are advised to check National Rail Enquiries or their train operator's website for updates and to be aware of when their last train will depart.
"This means railway staff forgo even more of their pay unnecessarily, passengers' lives are disrupted once again and the railway's recovery from the pandemic is further damaged."
