More than one-quarter of trains have been suddenly axed by nationalised ScotRail, owing to worsening industrial relations that has resulted in a driver shortage with fewer drivers volunteering to work on their days off.
“We want to resolve the pay dispute and remain fully committed to further discussions,” ScotRail Service Delivery Director Mark Ilderton told RAIL.
ScotRail (and the state-owned Caledonian Sleeper) is facing industrial action by all its staff, after a formal pay offer made on July 5 was rejected by all four rail trade unions - ASLEF, RMT, TSSA, and Unite.
