Train operator cuts Scottish services to one an hour as strikes see staff walk out

Rail passengers travelling to and from Scotland faced fresh travel misery on Saturday because of a strike which hit services on some of the busiest routes in the country.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) on Avanti West Coast walked out for 24 hours in a row over rosters. The company advised passengers to check before they travel, warning of a "significantly reduced" timetable during limited operating hours.

Avanti West Coast says it will run one train an hour from London Euston to Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool. The first train of the day left Euston just before 7.30am and the last train of the day from Euston will depart mid-afternoon.
