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.ScotRail said the new timetable will provide “certainty” over what trains will run while the union says the bosses should be negotiating a fair deal for drivers instead of cutting services for passengers.
A formal pay offer in line with the Scottish Government’s public sector pay policy was made on Friday, 5 July, 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 want to resolve the pay dispute with the trade unions and remain fully committed to further discussions.
