A second of three scheduled rail strikes has gone ahead in Scotland today as talks broke down between Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union members and railway employers.
The union continues to be involved in a bitter dispute over pay and working conditions, and accused the Transport Secretary of “wrecking” negotiations.
Members of the union at Network Rail and 13 train operators will walk out on Thursday following a stoppage on Tuesday, crippling large parts of the rail network.
