RAIL union RMT has hit back at claims it is behaving recklessly by carrying out strike action on Scotland’s train network, crediting members for their resilience and determination.  

The union has faced severe criticism from Abellio ScotRail bosses after a fifth consecutive weekend of strikes took place yesterday in a dispute over overtime payments. 

ScotRail, which will move into public ownership next year, says its services were severely disrupted as a result.
