RAIL union RMT has confirmed new dates for strike action over ScotRail’s “disgraceful and cavalier” attitude towards jobs and safety as management insist on imposing driver-only operation (DOO) trains.

The new action follows a series of “rock-solid” strikes across Scotland, including last weekend, which the union says have yet to produce any meaningful progress on the core issues of the dispute.

The Scottish government convened a resilience committee to undermine last weekend’s action, which coincided with the golf Open Championship, and called for strikes to be suspended.
