ScotRail ‘pulling wool over public's eyes’ over true scale of ticket office cuts, RMT warns
RAIL union RMT accused ScotRail today of “trying to pull the wool over the public’s eyes” about the true scale of its proposed cuts to ticket office hours.
ScotRail says that only 54 stations would be affected by the cuts.
But according to RMT, some 101 stations — 70 per cent of the network’s staffed locations — will lose critical ticket office hours, impacting safety and accessibility.
