SCOTRAIL has confirmed that there will be no changes to services amid a wave of strike action over the next couple of weeks.
Members of the RMT trade union and the train drivers’ union ASLEF are due to take part in industrial action on Thursday, July 20, Saturday 22 and Saturday 29.
This strike action is the result of a dispute between trade unions and and a number of other train operating companies across the UK, but does not involved any ScotRail staff.
Phil Campbell, head of customer operations at ScotRail, said: “The dispute between the trade unions and other train operators does not involve any ScotRail staff, which means we’ll be able to run our services as normal during the latest industrial action.
“A small number of ScotRail services to and from Carlisle will see some disruption, so customers travelling on this route should check their train times before leaving for the station.
“We’d also encourage anyone travelling to plan their journey in advance, as we’re expecting our trains to be busier than normal due to customers of other operators travelling with ScotRail.”
