Train drivers from the Aslef union will vote on a new pay deal that’s been agreed in principle with the Department for Transport.

If accepted, the offer would result in a pay rise of 5% for 2022-23, 4.75% for 2023-24 and 4.5% for 2024-25 that would be all backdated and pensionable.

Aslef added that the new deal was a ‘no-strings offer’ and so is not conditional on changes to working practices.

Mick Whelan, Aslef’s general secretary, said: “The offer is a good offer – a fair offer – and it is what we have always asked for, a clean offer, without a land grab for our terms and conditions that the companies and previous government tried to take.”

Aslef was the only rail union that had yet to agree a pay deal in relation to the ongoing industrial action on the railways, which started in June 2022.

The strikes have had a major impact on the hospitality sector and previously led to some businesses, including steakhouse group Hawksmoor, launching meal deals on strike days to encourage diners out.

Trade body UKHospitality previously estimated that strikes in this year alone have cost businesses close to £750m, and it believes that the total impact on the industry since the start of the industrial action nearly two years ago now totals £5bn.

Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, said the breakthrough the proposed pay deal is a ‘positive sign that the tide is turning’.

“While there is still much work to be done, particularly in rebuilding the financial stability of our sector, the prospect of renewed stability in rail services is a welcome development,” he said.

“Reliable transport is the lifeblood of the night-time economy, ensuring that millions of people can access our venues and events safely and conveniently.

“We have endured immense challenges, and this breakthrough offers a glimmer of hope for the future. It is imperative that we continue to engage in constructive dialogue to address the remaining hurdles, ensuring that our sector can thrive once again.

“This moment is a testament to the power of collaboration and the shared commitment to revitalising our industry.”
