British train operating companies said on Thursday they had made a "best and final" pay offer to the RMT rail union, in an effort to end a long-running dispute that has led to months of disruptive railway strikes. The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents the companies, said the proposal set out a minimum pay increase of 9% over two years, comprised of a 5% increase for 2022 and 4% for 2023.
