It feels like the threat of industrial action has been handing over the rail industry for ages and I'm sure this is a factor that is considered by clients looking for move people by rail, either as groups on scheduled train services or on private charter trains. Clearly it is excellent news that a final settlement now looks to be very close at hand, thereby removing this risk from the market. To be fair, many of a charter train providers have non-union drivers, so would not have been impacted anyway. However, the media attantion on 'rail strikes' must have led many to instantly dismiss the rail travel option. So, if you've been delaying your enquiry due to strike concerns, now is your ideal time to press ahead with those plans at full steam!
