Union insists ‘ball is in ScotRail’s court’ to resolve train driver dispute

Union leaders are urging ScotRail bosses to come up with a better offer for drivers to resolve the dispute

Union leaders have urged ScotRail bosses to come up with an improved offer for train drivers in an attempt to get the country’s railways running normally again.

Kevin Lindsay of the trade union Aslef insisted “the ball is clearly in ScotRail’s court now” when it comes to resolving the dispute over pay – which has led to the rail operator slashing about a third of services on an emergency timetable.
