ScotRail disruption warning during drivers’ pay dispute

Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said the operator was sorry for the inconvenience caused to customers.

“We hope that these service alterations will give customers some certainty and reliability when planning their journeys,” he said.

“We want to resolve the pay dispute matter with trade unions and will remain fully committed to further discussions.”

Aslef’s Scotland organiser Kevin Lindsay said the Scottish government should have seen the issues coming “a mile down the tracks”.

“It’s clear no lessons have been learned from the past. They have left Scotland’s railway workforce understaffed and overstretched.

“Goodwill from Scotland’s train drivers can only take you so far but you can’t run a safe and efficient railway seven days a week if you don’t employ appropriate numbers of staff and provide them with decent pay, terms and conditions.”

Customers are advised to check their journey on the ScotRail website and mobile app before they travel.
