End of twitter postRMT strike ballot 'extremely premature' - Arriva Rail Northpublished at 16:54 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2017
The RMT union has been "extremely premature" in calling a strike ballot over the role of guards on Arriva Rail North trains, the company has said.
The union claims the firm has "failed to provide" any reassurances over the future role of guards who the RMT says are necessary to open train doors safely.
But in a statement, an Arriva Rail North spokesman says: "We are in the early stages of developing our modernisation plans to bring customers a better railway.
"During our discussions this week we offered commitments to consult fully with our people, customers and key stakeholders.
"We want to protect jobs and pay as we work together to provide safe, secure and accessible services for our customers. We want to continue talking with the RMT."

Closure of child migrant scheme 'shameful' - Yorkshire MPpublished at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2017
The government's decision to end a scheme allowing vulnerable refugee children into the UK is "shameful", according to West Yorkshire Labour MP Yvette Cooper.
Image source, Getty ImagesMinisters announced yesterday they would stop arrivals under the scheme in March once they reached 350 - far fewer than the 3,000 originally expected.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd says this was because ministers feared it was encouraging people traffickers.
Ms Cooper says the government was "turning its back" on children.
Rail workers balloted over strike actionpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2017
The RMT rail union has told Arriva North, the firm which runs most trains in Yorkshire under the Northern banner, they are to ballot their members for industrial action.
The RMT says Arriva North has "failed to provide" any assurances about the future role of guards on their trains. They say trains need guards to open the doors safely.
It's the same dispute which has brought travel chaos to the south of England, where drivers were to operate the doors. The only difference being that the unions are different in this case.
Management are expected to fulfil their roles if a strike happens.
Quote MessageThe union’s position on driver-only operation is perfectly clear. This dispute, and the ballot for industrial action, were entirely preventable."

The plant will be built on land on Airedale Road, Keighley, and will be capable of producing 10 to 11 MW of electricity a year.
More than 3,000 people had signed an online petition against the proposals due to concerns about pollution, noise and the visual impact of the plant.
