Edinburgh ScotRail trains to be cancelled as fresh rail strikes announced

Fresh rail strikes have been announced for October, continuing the wave of industrial action moving across the country.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) confirmed that 40,000 of its members at Network Rail and 15 train operators will walk out on October 8, impacting services across the UK, including Edinburgh.

Rail strikes are already planned on October 1 and 5, threatening fresh travel chaos for passengers. While ScotRail are not associated with these strikes, Network Rail staff provide essential safety work and without them, trains simply can't run.
