British rail workers are being balloted about strike action that could hit services during the Christmas period. More than 1,000 staff at GNER are voting about whether to take industrial action in a dispute over working hours. The RMT union claims a deal over a 35-hour week had been broken by GNER. Union officials are now deciding on dates for the industrial action. Owned by Bermuda-based Sea Containers, GNER provides trains between London and Edinburgh on the British East Coast main line.
