However, the RMT dismissed the report and said that staff were not under threat.

The RMT – the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers - is locked in a long-running dispute with the Government over pay, calling more than 20 national rail strikes since last summer while pushing for improved conditions for members.

An RMT spokesman acknowledged the dispute but claimed there will be 'no job cuts or pay cuts' at the education centre.
