It is outrageous that Avanti continues to intentionally run down our booking office at Manchester Piccadilly and across their network, by refusing to fill vacancies. This is an attack on accessibility purely motivated by profit.

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community. @rmtunion.bsky.social policy is unequivocal in its support for all our trans and non-binary members and their right to gender identity.

All the best to Mick in retirement, he'll forever be remembered by our members for how he calmly handled the media and defended the workers during the national dispute, calmly, effectively and with good humour. Now it is time to prepare for the future.

Solidarity with our TM members on Avanti who were bringing the year to a close striking for a fair rest day working settlement. ✊️

Merry Christmas

Just found out that this legend of the Labour movement Mike Harrison is no longer with us. Unfortunately it was a while ago, so never got to attend his funeral. I started on the Railway the same day as Mike in 1980. One of the Piccadilly 4 Union reps sacked at Man Picc. RIP Comrade.✊

As Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill receives Royal Assent, here is a little cartoon from the NUR's Railway Review in 1948, celebrating 'the biggest event in British Railway history'...

Can confirm this is very enjoyable and interesting.

Sometimes I scroll through photos of the national dispute to cheer myself up
