SWR strike would be over if guards were given a few more seconds to ensure safety, union leaders say
STRIKES on South Western Railway (SWR) could be resolved if guards are allowed a few seconds more to ensure the safe despatch of trains, union leaders said today.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said it had set out a framework for renewed talks in a bid to resolve a long-running row over the role of guards.
Union members at SWR were on the picket lines again today on the third of 27 strike days scheduled during December.
