Scotrail warns of further disruption as more strikes announced

Passengers have been warned of further disruption later this month as more rail strikes by Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union have been announced.

Scotrail is still operating a temporary timetable after a dispute with drivers union Aslef where workers refused to work on rest days or work overtime, due to disagreements over pay and conditions. ScotRail officials told the PA news agency they are "still assessing" the impact of strikes by RMT members in Network Rail, but it is "likely" services will face the same level of disruption seen when rail workers downed tools for three days last month.

Earlier this week, the drivers' union accepted a 5% pay rise, but Scotrail services will not return to normal for some time as this depends on drivers agreeing to work rest days and overtime. As reported by Glasgow Live, the temporary timetable will still be in place during the Gerry Cinnamon concerts in Glasgow, due to take place this weekend.
