A RAIL union has told Nicola Sturgeon that she must personally intervene and try to resolve a long-running rail dispute which could see staff take strike action during the Cop26 climate summit.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch accused rail bosses of having “dragged their heels over further talks,” despite the fact that the “clock is ticking” to the start of the summit.

Thousands of delegates from across the globe, including world leaders such as US President Joe Biden, will be in Scotland for the crucial UN Cop26 climate change talks, which get underway on October 31.
