Day 5 of the RMT strike at Glasgow Central Station.
Train strikes: ScotRail warns of major disruption on Scotland’s rail network as result of RMT strike
Members of the RMT union who work for Network Rail walk out today (Thursday) and Saturday this week over a pay dispute.
While the dispute does not involve ScotRail – the publicly-owned train operator north of the border – it will have a major knock-on effect on the train operator’s ability to provide services as the RMT planned action will involve Network Rail staff in Scotland.
Most services will be cancelled, as signallers will be among those who will be striking.
Previous strike action by the union allowed just 189 services to go ahead, but that figure will increase to 378 during this round as trains are set to reach Fife and the east coast.
There will be two trains per hour between Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street, Edinburgh and Helensburgh Central, Glasgow Central and Hamilton, Glasgow Central and Lanark, Edinburgh and Inverkeithing, Edinburgh and Tweedbank and Milngavie and Springburn.
