RMT strike action over safety at East Midlands Railway
RMT members working at East Midlands Railway (EMR) plan to take strike action on Saturday, August 1, and the following two Saturdays over growing safety concerns that the company has failed to address.
RMT has been in dispute with EMR since April following the roll out of the 810 fleet which has been operating with a significant number of faults.
Yet EMR has been sending trains into service that are likely to fail and require a full reset which leaves the train with no active safety systems including loss of communication between train drivers, dispatchers, and trackside which has occurred at least three times in the last week alone.
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said that RMT reps at EMR had been extremely patient and tried to engage with management to no avail.
“The company has even put out safety notices with no involvement, consultation or negotiation with our reps who represent those most at risk.
“RMT is demanding that whilst these faults exist and until these trains are shown to be operating properly, they should be taken out of service,” he said.

Network Rail is beginning work to recover the trains involved in Friday’s collision. It plans to remove overhead wires, use two Kirow rail cranes to lift the trains’ vehicles, use a road crane to transfer them to low-loaders and take them away along this temporary roadway.

Hugely concerning reports of a collision involving two passenger trains near Bedford.
First and foremost, my thoughts are with the family of the person who has sadly lost their life, and with those who have been seriously injured.
I am grateful to the emergency services for their swift response to this tragic incident.
