NET said on 21 October 2026 that it made a revised pay offer of a 3.7% rise, above the earlier final offer of 3.3% that BBC Nottingham reported on 9 October, and BBC Nottingham reported the 3.7% offer on 21 October.
History. No count: the timing of new offers is not recorded separately in the ten rounds. Signal points are counted from 50.
Hunch. The operator called 3.3% its final offer and had not improved it by 9 October.
Resolves YES if before 22 October 2026 NET or the GMB says publicly that NET made a new offer with a basic rise above 3.3%, and NO if there is no new offer or it changes only night pay or the lowest rates. NET news, BBC Nottingham and Nottingham Post settle it.
We looked for cases where a union set strike dates on a UK tram or light rail network after workers turned down a pay offer. We found ten such rounds since 2019, on four networks. The first strike day went ahead five times. The other five times it was called off before it began, usually one or two days before.
