Planned strike action on Network Rail by the RMT union has forced the employer to double its pay offer for 2015.
Network Rail has now proposed a 2% consolidated increase for 2015, backdated to 1 January, and an increase matching the November 2015 Retail Price Index inflation measure for 2016.
There would also be no compulsory redundancies before 31 January 2016.
The previous offer was 1% for 2015 and 1.4% for 2016, which was rejected by reps at a national meeting on 28 May.
The RMT had planned a 24 hour and a 48 hour strike, but action is now suspended.
A reps’ meeting on 5 June will consider the offer.
