    Arriva Rail North DOO

    Whilst I am happy that progress seems to have been made in regards to this dispute I find it rather confusing why it's acceptable to talk without preconditions now but it wasn't last July when exactly the same thing was offered, unless the company have now been given the flexibility they didn't...
