The RMT said 100% of its members walked out when a 30-hour strike over the same issue was called last month.

The two sides are in disagreement over the creation a single set of terms and conditions after rail maintenance work was taken back in-house from private companies four years ago.

What aload of old tosh,i am one of said members of the R.M.T and i am going to work this weekend and did not strike last month,this is just a case of the union not knowing what it's membership is doing

All the best,Ian.
