Operator scraps about 30% of its scheduled weekday services as drivers refuse to work overtime
Rail passengers and businesses in Scotland are furious after more than 700 train services were axed by the national operator ScotRail in an escalating dispute over pay.
Scores of drivers have refused ScotRail requests to work overtime shifts, forcing the newly nationalised company to scrap about 30% of its scheduled weekday rail services. That has left commuters unable to get home or to work early or late in the day.
