General Secretary Mick Cash said; "RMT has warned repeatedly that cuts to maintenance and staffing have left our railways ill-equipped to deal with routine conditions and the slightest hint of adverse weather tips us into chaos. Those who have ignored those warnings are wholly responsible for the disruption, cancellation and delays hammering rail and tube services this morning.
"All the Government hot air about building rail resilience has been exposed again as just that. Passengers and staff alike are caught in the poisonous cocktail of cuts and privatisation and the only answer is public ownership. "
