The RMT strike days planned for this weekend and next week were cancelled yesterday (4 November) evening.

Earlier this month the RMT union announced its members at Network Rail will take strike action on November 5 (Saturday), November 7 (Monday), and November 9 (Wednesday) across the railway network resulting from a pay dispute with the track and infrastructure operator. While the strikes didn’t affect ScotRail, they have a major impact on the train operator’s ability to provide services as the RMT planned action involves Network Rail staff in Scotland.

These strikes were suspended around 5pm on Friday 4 November after securing intensive negotiations with rail bosses. But due to the timing, ScotRail have announced that they are still running a reduced timetable today (5 November). The operator tweeted: “Due to the short period of time available, the limited timetable that was due to operate during the planned strike action will remain in place for tomorrow ( 5 November). We'll update you on the resumption of full service ASAP.”
