But no need to stress! The trains will keep calm and carriage on after an agreement has been struck on a new collective labour agreement. Trains will now go full steam ahead — for the time being.
However, FNV union members still need to approve of the agreement. If it’s approved, all the planned strike actions will be completely cancelled.
