ScotRail has warned the vast majority of their services will be affected as a new round of RMT strikes begins today, with further action to take place tomorrow, Friday and Saturday.
Glasgow rail passengers are facing major disruption this morning amid the latest round of RMT strikes.
Because of the walkouts, a limited number of services on the publicly-owned rail operator will be running, with disruption still felt on Thursday due to issues with signal boxes created by the strikes. "For ScotRail, it's going to mean that we won't be able to operate the vast majority of our services between December 13 and 17, which we know will be really frustrating for our customers.
He said: "There is a whole package of cuts involved in this pay offer. So, 9% over two years when we currently have inflation running at over 14%, but, as well as that, what Network Rail are proposing is a whole package of cuts to terms and conditions, and to jobs and to the maintenance regime. "At least now the UK Government at Transport Secretary-level have got involved, but he doesn't seem to have the gravitas to go to the Treasury and Number 10 and say you can't run a railway with a package of cuts so it needs proper investment in people, proper investment in infrastructure to get this resolved."
