Public opinion has shifted dramatically in support of rail strikes by the RMT trade union, a new poll has found.
Pollsters Opinium found 45 per cent of the public now say they support the stoppages, with just 37 per cent opposed.
The shift in views by a net 12 points comes after RMT general secretary Mick Lynch took to television and radio studios last week to make his union's case to the public.
