Train drivers’ demands for a pay increase of around 10% are “not sustainable”, a ScotRail boss said, as he urged “compromise” with unions.
ScotRail’s reduced timetable began on Monday morning, with more than 700 services cut across the country.
It is due to an ongoing dispute between the nationalised train service and the Aslef union, whose members are refusing to work overtime and on rest days, resulting in a third of daily services being halted.
