The operator of the Southern rail network has offered conductors a lump sum of £2,000 in a bid to bring industrial action to an end. Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has set the RMT union a deadline of midday on Thursday to agree to end strikes. It said conductors would also be asked to sign up to new on-board roles as part of an eight-point offer. The RMT said: 'Jobs, safety and access on Southern rail services are not for sale for £2,000.'
