The UK train drivers' union, Aslef, and the government have reached a deal that could potentially end the long-running rail strikes, which have persisted for over two years. Talks over pay were expected to take place, and a new offer has been presented to the union members for a vote. The agreement, which reportedly includes a significant pay rise from Starmer, is seen as a hopeful resolution to the industrial action that has disrupted the rail industry. The Department for Transport and Aslef have recommended the deal to union members, marking a possible breakthrough in the ongoing dispute.
