We win for you at work. TSSA secures quality pay rises, protects jobs, enhances terms and conditions and ensures safe workplaces for our members.
TSSA members work in a variety of companies, including Network Rail, Transport for London, HS2, Transport for Wales and a wide range of TOCs and FOCs, from LNER to Scot Rail to C2C, Abellio, DB Cargo, Cal Mac and more. Check the drop down list of companies to get a fuller picture.

Our travel trade members work on retail outlets across the country. TSSA members have expertise in the running of our transport networks from design to delivery.

We want to see a massive shift of passenger and freight transport from road and air onto rail to help cut our carbon emissions and tackle climate change.
