SCOTRAIL plans to cut Sunday train services by half due to staff shortages caused by an ongoing pay dispute are “unacceptable”, a union has said.
The pay dispute comes as drivers’ union Aslef confirmed it was considering whether to ballot members on industrial action. The offer would have been paid in a 2% increase across April in three years to 2026 as well as a further 1% rise in January in 2025, 2026 and 2027.In a statement to The Scotsman, ScotRail said: “We are planning to operate around 50-60% of services on Sundays, but this varies from week to week with special events and planned Network Rail engineering work.”
He said the rail firm had failed “time and time again” to address the ongoing pay dispute which is reliant on voluntary working and compulsory overtime. ScotRail has also previously said it is recruiting an additional 160 drivers but will still rely on some rest day and overtime working to deliver a “normal” timetable.
