An RDG spokesman said negotiations with the RMT over the changes have “stalled” and the industry is “now looking at how to move forward”.
A “severely limited service” is running on RMT strike days, and only between London Waterloo and Basingstoke, Southampton, Windsor and Woking.
Aside from the ones on May 12, 14, 31 and June 3, no further dates have yet been set – but the RMT now has a mandate to call further strikes at any time over the next six months.
ASLEF and RMT members employed in the role of train drivers will strike on Wednesday 1 and Friday 3 February bringing all Northern services across the region to a halt.
A spokesperson for the Rail Delivery Group said: “This welcome vote from RMT members will unlock a pay rise for our people, and means that fair agreements have now been reached with three out of the four unions involved in the recent industrial dispute.”
Derek Marchant, its finance director, said: “The dispute between the RMT trade union and Network Rail had a major impact on ScotRail, both financially and on our ability to operate services, despite no members of ScotRail staff being involved.
“During the strike action by RMT on May 13 we’ll be operating a significantly reduced timetable, so all our customers should plan ahead, check before they travel and be aware of their last train home.
He said “there’s every chance” that at least 50% of RMT votes will be to accept an offer if there are “very carefully targeted discussions”.
Hopes for an end of the dispute had been raised when the smaller TSSA rail union accepted a pay deal but talks between the RMT and the rail delivery group have yet to make a breakthrough.
In a letter sent to the RMT, chief negotiator Tim Shoveller said: ‘We can’t afford to increase December’s basic pay award, but we have added some fresh proposals.’
Industrial action by ASLEF and the RMT unions will bring fresh disruption to the region’s train services on three days next week.
It means that RMT members will no longer be involved in industrial action until at least the spring of next year.
