TransPennine Express: outsourced rail workers strike on 2026-08-28

Suspended

Last Updated:

Minor Rail

A 24-hour strike by outsourced cleaners (Bidvest Noonan) and onboard catering staff (Rail Gourmet) on TransPennine Express services, planned for Friday 28 August 2026, has been suspended. The RMT called off the action after both companies improved their pay offer to a 3.6% increase backdated to April 2026, and the union is now consulting workplace representatives on the proposal. TransPennine Express services are expected to run normally on 28 August. Earlier walkouts in the same dispute had already taken place over the summer.

This alert was originally created on 27 August 2026.
