Strikes by RMT among their members at Network Rail in 2022/23 typically resulted in average industry-wide service levels of around 20%.<\/p>

<\/p>

These strikes have resulted in direct impacts on rail industry revenue and on the wider economy, for example due to people being unable to attend work.

CCAV is currently supporting 20 projects with £50m of government funding to further operationalise CAM technologies and services.<\/p>

In line with legislative processes, we will seek legislative consent from Scottish Parliament and Senedd Cymru where appropriate.<\/p>
