TRADE unionists gathered outside a major Glasgow train station today to urge First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to take action and oppose proposed cuts to Scotland’s railways.

During a ministerial visit to the refurbished station ahead of the UN Cop26 climate conference, Ms Sturgeon was drowned out by workers who shared their anger at the poor treatment of railway staff.
