Train crew have voted to take industrial action to defend the role of operational safety guards.

RMT members voted two to one in favour of strike action, after union claims that all 22 train operators agreed to restore safety guards, but only eight have honoured the agreement.

Strike action will take place at Arriva Trains Merseyside, Central Trains, Connex South Eastern, Govia South Central, Midland Mainline, Scotrail, Silverlink, Thames Trains, Virgin West Coast, Virgin Cross Country, Wales and Borders and Wessex Trains.

Union members at South West Trains and C2C voted not to take action.
