Workers at two rail companies are set to strike over the Christmas period over 'guards and safety' disputes. Members of the RMT Union employed by Greater Anglia are set to walk out for 24 hours on 27 December, while those employed by South Western Railway will do the same on 31 December. It comes after a meeting with Transport Secretary Chris Grayling on Tuesday. The union said it had received 'contradictory messages, confusion and lack of clarity' from the meeting.
