We speak to Hull strikers on day two of the dispute
The walkout is over pay and conditions
It's day two of the rail dispute.
Workers across the country have walked out over a range of issues which include pay but also working conditions.
We were on the picket line this morning at Paragon interchange in Hull to ask strikers there why they were supporting the action.
One of them who wanted to remain anonymous told us:
"The most important thing is the safety of passengers."
"Without properly trained people on this station there's going to be accidents."
"Yesterday we had about 15 reports of wrong routes offered in signal boxes by managers who were working in those boxes."
"That's a danger, that's an accident waiting to happen."
Hull Councillor Aneessa Akbar was there to show her support.
She told us: It's really important we stand up for workers who are going through an unprecedented time."
We've clapped for key workers during the pandemic and rail staff have been part of those key workers so whilst we have clapped for them we should also stand in solidarity, protecting their jobs, pensions protecting them against redundancies."
Karl Turner is the MP for Hull East, he was supporting workers at the station this morning.
"I've been on this picket line for around half an hour now and everyone who's passing in cars are tooting their horns, waving and shouting their support to these men and women who are withdrawing their labour to encourage the management to get round the table and settle this dispute."
"What the Government needs to do is talk to Mick Lynch of the RMT union and negotiate a settlement that we can all be proud of."
We've been looking at the response from the employers and the Government.
Network Rail says the pandemic is still impacting the industry and infrastructure needs to modernise.
There's lots of technology that we want to use to make the railway safer.
It means we'll need fewer people to do the work and make the organisation more efficient.
For the Government Prime Minister Boris Johnson said these reforms, these improvements in the way we run our railways are in the interests of the travelling public.
They will help to cut costs for fare payers.
The Government also says the strikes shouldn't go ahead and are causing misery for the travelling public.
