Edinburgh rail workers and politicians join picket line outside Waverley Station

An Edinburgh MP stood on the front lines of Waverley Station's picket line on Wednesday alongside 100% of the railway's RMT union workers.

Tommy Sheppard, an SNP MP for Edinburgh East, said he joined picketers to support "an absolutely justified cause."

"Workers have been faced with inflation, and wages need to increase to keep pace with that, but now they've been asked to take a pay-cut which no one can afford during a cost of living crisis. I also support the cause because I believe in a decent railway system," said Sheppard.
