Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) have overwhelmingly voted to accept a pay offer from Network Rail and other train companies.
The RMT accepted a one-year rise of 4.5% at Network Rail along with increases with train companies of 4.5% for the past year and for the year 2024/25 an increase of 4.5%.
The long running pay dispute is now over.
A statement said: “This outcome reflects the collective efforts of our membership in defending their jobs, working conditions, pay, and pensions from the attacks of the previous Tory government and their private contractors.
“We thank our members for their efforts during this long but successful campaign.
“Their resolve has been essential in navigating the challenges posed during negotiations and in particular the previous Tory government’s refusal to negotiate in good faith, alongside relentless attacks by sections of the media and the employers.
“RMT remains focused and committed to supporting public ownership as a path to building a stronger future for the rail industry for both workers and passengers.”
