Rail workers stage protests outside train stations to warn on impact of job cuts

RAIL workers are staging protests outside train stations to warn about the impact of job cuts on services and safety.

Members of rail union RMT handed out leaflets to commuters today at stations in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, warning that despite the recent increase in fares, rail companies and the government are intent on cutting thousands of front-line staff.

The union fears big job losses are imminent across the rail industry, warning that passengers will be paying “more for less.”
