Edinburgh rail passengers warned not to travel as strike to cause chaos

Rail passengers across Scotland have been warned not to travel unless 'absolutely necessary' this weekend as workers walk out in a row over pay.

Only a handful of services are expected to run on key routes in Scotland for part of the day, with some areas of the country having no services all day.

Although the dispute does not directly involve ScotRail, services will be heavily impacted by the RMT strike, after the union voted "resoundingly" to take strike action against the companies they say have failed to give rail workers a pay rise matching inflation.
