ScotRail re-introduce later Edinburgh trains in hope of ending ongoing dispute

ScotRail is to run more later trains as hopes rise for a resolution to a pay dispute with drivers which saw the state-owned railway cut hundreds of services, with several Edinburgh lines now running a later service.

Some 700 services disappeared from the newly-nationalised operator on May 23 as members of the Aslef union refused to work rest days and ScotRail introduced a temporary timetable for its network.

The disruption crippled railways north of the border, with football fans forced to leave the Scotland v Armenia game before the final whistle to catch the last train, commuters stranded, and communities cut off.
