4 After over two years of campaigning, members at Network Rail and the train operating companies have brought the national Defend Jobs, Pay, Conditions and Pension campaigns to a successful conclusion. Both sets of members voted by very large majorities to accept the final instalments of what was effectively a pay deal over three years.
