A reduced temporary timetable is being introduced on ScotRail trains starting from tomorrow.
The train operator said the service cuts are needed because fewer train drivers are available for overtime due to a dispute over pay.
A formal pay offer in line with the Scottish Government’s public sector pay policy was made on Friday, July 5, which was rejected by all four trade unions.Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: “We are very sorry to customers for the disruption to services. We know that customers want certainty and reliability, which is why we are introducing a temporary timetable, in place of late-notice cancellations.
“We’re asking customers to check their journey on our website or mobile app, as train times will have changed.”Kevin Lindsay, Scottish organiser, said:"Rather than slashing the timetable in an act of economic vandalism that will impact towns and cities across Scotland as well as Scotland's rail passengers, ScotRail and the Scottish Government must get serious about pay and urgently get back round the negotiating table with a serious and credible offer.
