Members of the Rail, Maritime, and Transport (RMT) union at Network Rail have voted overwhelmingly in favour of accepting an offer to end the dispute that has caused a series of strikes in recent months.

The union said the deal includes an uplift on salaries of between 14.4 percent for the lowest paid grades to 9.2 percent for the highest paid, increased back pay, a no compulsory redundancy agreement until January 2025, and rail travel benefits.
