More Northern Strikes Planned?

[northernchris]

There's rumours going around that there are to be further strikes on Northern in June. I can't find anything online so not sure where the rumours are coming from, but has anything been confirmed? If so, is this in relation to the dispute over the conductor, as all seems to have gone quiet with that lately?

In a nutshell no. I think this comes from a typical 2+2=5 senario. I am told there is a Northern 150 unit running around with a faulty train fx system that is showing 3 dates for strikes in June on the scrolling displays. These correspond to the three strikes in June last year.

As sportzbar mentions, it'll just be the 150 that hasn't been updated.
Latest union update came out this afternoon - the National Executive Committee are 'comfortable' with the way the talks are progressing at ACAS, however they are being done confidentially so that is all the info available.

The only source I am aware of is your post, so perhaps you can enlighten us?

I saw a couple of posts on Facebook, which I know isn't very reliable! The faulty 150 screen would explain it though

They’re on the buffet car saga at the moment with GWR. They don’t have time for more guard based woes whilst they’re sorting the critical issues out.

A 150 is indeed running round with this message displayed in the saloons, saw it myself recently.
