Members of train drivers union Aslef are set to stage further walkouts in April
Rail services through Lockerbie are set to be disrupted once more by a long-running dispute over pay and conditions.
Aslef general secretary, Mick Whelan, said: “Last month, when we announced renewed mandates for industrial action, because under the Tories’ draconian anti-union laws we have to ballot our members every six months, we called on the train companies, and the government, to come to the table for meaningful talks to negotiate a new pay deal for train drivers who have not had an increase in salary since 2019.
“We have given the government every opportunity to come to the table but it is now clear they do not want to resolve this dispute. They are happy for it go on and on.”
