Suspension of industrial action on the railways statement by Transport Secretary, Sir George Young

I am very pleased that much of the industrial action planned for
tomorrow has been called off by the RMT. This is good news for many
passengers, who can now look forward to normal services. I hope the
Train Operating Companies and their employees can now move forward to
a successful resolution of disputes in all the areas still affected.
