In light of the risk of a major cyber attack, the government should increase funding for Britain’s railway cyber defences. Rail operators need the staff and tools to spot threats early.

"Dignity at work is a fundamental right. Sexual harassment has no place in any workplace."

[TSSA @TSSAunion]

"Following the Russell Brand verdict, our union stands in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence and harassment. Everyone deserves to live and work with dignity, safety and respect, free from harassment, intimidation and abuse.

"The verdict comes at a significant time for workers' rights. From 30 October 2026, strengthened legislation places greater responsibilities on employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, rather than simply responding after incidents occur.

"Employers must take these duties seriously by creating safe workplaces, addressing risks and ensuring workers can raise concerns without fear of victimisation.

"As a union, we will engage with members to explore how safety, dignity and the prevention of sexual harassment can be better embedded across our facilities and workplaces. We will also work to ensure employers fully understand and meet their strengthened legal responsibilities and duty of care.

Dignity at work is a fundamental right. Sexual harassment has no place in any workplace. "

Great to see @JoshNewburyMP raising important points at today's debate: Impact of extreme weather on train services. 👏

We continue to push for Government to provide funding for the full implementation of the CP7 Renewals Programme and an immediate halt to job cuts at Network Rail.

[TSSA @TSSAunion]

"What we are witnessing is the impact of climate change on the railways here and now. This is causing the network huge challenges, and TSSA is calling for emergency funding for Network Rail to ensure our railways are safe, reliable and efficient in the face of hotter summers and much wetter winters," says our General Secretary @MEslamdoust on the latest govt climate report.

Railway safety cannot be taken for granted.

Recent derailments and growing pressures on our rail infrastructure have raised serious questions about safety across the network.

From underinvestment and extreme weather to staffing, training and emergency response, the challenges facing our railways demand attention.

Join TSSA and fellow trade unionists for an online summit to discuss these challenges and how we can work together for a safer railway.

TSSA general secretary Maryam Eslamdoust (@MEslamdoust) welcomes the Budget's cost-of-living measures but says rail reform needs sustained investment and job protection.

For the railways, TSSA (@TSSAunion) says that means “protecting jobs and investing in public ownership”.

It's a really good day to organise.

From today, unions will have the right of access to workplaces to meet workers, grow unions and raise wages and improve conditions across the country.

More workers covered by collective bargaining is a key part of building an economy that delivers for workers.

This has come about thanks to the New Deal for Working People - the Labour-union link in action.

Join a union. Organise. Win.

Read TSSA General Secretary @MEslamdoust's full reaction to the @JohnHealey_MP's #Budget2026 announcements.

"We welcome many of the measures outlined in the Budget, especially those designed to reduce the escalating cost of living.

"TSSA supports the overall direction of travel being taken by John Healey and Andy Burnham in defending living standards in the face of rising inflation. However, these must be accompanied by a clear plan for long-term economic growth and sustained investment in our railways. This is important, not least in the light of train derailments at Lewes, Wickford and most recently at Barking.

"A government which is seeking to overturn decades of failed neoliberalism must grasp the nettle and do so by restructuring the economy so that the wealth this country produces is shared by everyone, not just the few at the top.

"That also means protecting jobs and investing in public ownership, including on the rail network as we move into the era of Great British Railways." Maryam Eslamdoust, TSSA General Secretary.

As a result of the widely publicised PHP vulnerabilities issue, the MyTSSA area of our website is currently unavailable. We will update as soon as we can. In the meantime, thanks for bearing with us while we work on the solution.

Tackling nuisance on our railways matters. But violence, abuse and sexual assault demand urgent action. Everyone deserves to travel and work without fear. The Government must make their safety a priority.
