West Lothian commuters face delays and disruption on train services from today after ScotRail announced it would introduce a temporary timetable due to a shortage of drivers.
The temporary timetable will be enforced due to a “significant” number of drivers not working overtime or on rest days and after rejecting a 2.2 per cent pay offer.
This is a result of the ongoing impact of a significant number of drivers declining to make themselves available for overtime or rest day working, following an announcement by the drivers’ union ASLEF that it will ballot for industrial action over pay.
