Kathryn O’Brien, executive director of customer experience at Avanti West Coast, said: “We’re disappointed by the RMT calling strike action for an extended period when our customers may be working, visiting family and friends, or enjoying days out. “We remain open to working with the RMT to resolve the dispute.” RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “It is wrong that Avanti is paying replacement managers up to £500 per shift—around double what our members earn—while these managers fail to deliver the same service for passengers. “This destructive approach is typical of train operating companies and stems from the failed policies of the previous Conservative government, which rewarded excessive payouts for managers rather than resolving disputes fairly.” A spokesperson for Hull Trains said: “We are disappointed to receive this ballot which relates to a recent investigation held by the company.
