Merseyrail have ended a lengthy dispute over plans for driver-only trains.
Months of strike action are now over after transport bosses pledged to have at least two members of staff on every train in the network.
A new fleet of trains that are to be brought in to service in 2021 had been designed to have just one driver on them at any given time.
This sparked backlash from the RMT and a campaign to ensure that a guard remain on the train despite the plans.
The transport union held a number of strikes across the network and commuters supported their moves to keep guards on the trains past 2021.
The Liverpool City Combined Authority and RMT agreed in principle that the new fleets of trains would have a second member of staff on board.
However the news comes with a warning to commuters that the move may end up costing them more by way of fare increases.
A joint statement indicated that increased fairs and a crack down of those who avoid paying fares are just some of the ways they will seek to recoup the additional expense.
It is expected to take several months for a full and final agreement to be put in to place however the plans mean that no guard will lose their job.
No further industrial action is expected in relation to driver only trains whilst the final agreement is reached.
