Southern rail dispute talks end with no deal [BBC News]





Date: 15/12/2016

Talks aimed at stopping industrial action on the Southern rail network have ended with no deal, the rail operator has said. Aslef has been in negotiation with the rail company at conciliation service Acas but talks ended on Thursday. Nick Brown, chief operating officer of Govia Thameslink (GTR) Southern's parent company, said Aslef had been unable to accept their proposals. Aslef said talks had continued but without progress. A spokeswoman for the union said Aslef was open to resuming talks next week although nothing had been set up yet.
