ScotRail has confirmed that services will face widespread disruption next week as its RMT members take part in strike action, with no trains to run to or from Clydebank.

The train operator tabled an improved pay offer in a bid to resolve the dispute, but it was rejected by the union on Thursday, October 6.

The RMT has announced that its ScotRail general grade members will take part in a 24-hour strike on Monday, October 10, meaning a very limited number of services will run on a small number of routes.

The only routes which will operate limited services between 7.30am and 6.30pm are Milngavie to Edinburgh Waverley, Glasgow Central to Lanark, and Glasgow Central to Larkhall.

This action, which has resulted from a pay dispute with ScotRail, is separate from the RMT’s dispute with Network Rail which has seen disruption across the Great Britain railway network on several days since July.

A large proportion of ScotRail’s staff are members of the RMT, including conductors, ticket examiners, station staff, engineering depot staff, supervisors, and CCTV operators – though not all in employees in these roles are union members.

Phil Campbell, ScotRail head of customer operations, said: “We’re really disappointed that the dispute with the RMT has reached this outcome, given the strength of the improved pay offer ScotRail made.

“This strike action does nothing for the railway’s recovery at this fragile time. It will severely impact our customers and it will also cost our staff through lost wages.

“Due to the large number of ScotRail staff who are members of the RMT, ScotRail customers should expect significant disruption to services on Monday, October 10, as we won’t be able to operate the vast majority of our services.

“We’re advising customers to seek alternative means of transport and to only travel if they really need to on Monday, October 10.

“We remain open to resolving this dispute.”

The RMT has also advised that its general grade members will take part in an overtime and rest day working ban as part of action short of a strike from Friday, October 14.

This will have some impact to ScotRail services until the dispute is solved.

Strike action, by Network Rail’s RMT members, is also set to take place across the Great Britain railway network on Saturday, October 8, due to a separate pay dispute.

As many of the Network Rail members due to take part occupy safety-critical roles, it will not be possible for ScotRail to run the majority of its services on the day.

Services will also be affected on Sunday, October 9 after the strike action due to signal boxes across the country opening at different times throughout the day.
