    Worries about rail strike

    Business leaders say they're concerned next week's rail strike will damage tourism in the South West.

    RMT members at First Great Western are planning to walk out for 48 hours from 6.30pm on July 8th.

     

    They argue they haven't been given reassurances the planned introduction of new Hitachi trains won't lead to job losses - although First Great Western insist they will take on more staff.

     

    Tim Jones from the Devon and Cornwall business council says it's a no win situation.
