ScotRail services to operate as normal tomorrow
It follows the suspension of strike action
ScotRail is assuring passengers that services will operate as normal tomorrow (Thursday March 16 ).
It follows the suspension of planned strike action by RMT members of Network Rail.
Planned strike action, as well as an overtime ban, over the coming weeks have been suspended as members are balloted on a new pay offer.
Whilst the dispute does not involve any ScotRail staff industrial action can impact services due to the the involvement of critical staff at Network Rail.
Planned strike action by RMT members of 14 other train operators - on Thursday, 16 March, as well as on Saturday, 18 March, Thursday, 30 March, and Saturday, 1 April - is still scheduled to take place but will not have any impact on ScotRail services.
David Simpson, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said:
“ScotRail services will operate as normal on Thursday, 16 March, following the suspension of planned strike action by RMT members of Network Rail.
“The dispute between the trade union and other train operators does not involve any ScotRail staff. We look forward to welcoming passengers to our services. ”
