It will be interesting to see what happens to some freight movements.

This. I haven't used trains in over a decade, but the freight movements may be far more reaching...

Doos anyone know if this will effect Nottingham’s tram system? A Google search suggest the drivers are GMB members and have previously threatened strike action.

From what I can see online, it looks to be operating normally.

No dates on further RMT strikes yet as last weeks ones conclude...
They may well wait a month or so for the school summer holidays to begin in my opinion.....!

Yes, I realise that various strikes are continuing - and that, technically at least, the government remains operational.
What I was wondering was whether any progress on pay and T&Cs was now actually expected before September.

I don't think Grant Shapps did much under Boris's Govt.. We'll have to wait and see if they get more involved when new PM is in Downing St on Sept. 5th....!
