Train services in Scotland cut by a third

Pay disputes and driver shortages see ScotRail's service cut by a third

Long speeches were made in Glasgow at COP26 about the need for us all to use public transport.

But from Monday, Scotland will see its train services cut by a third. This is because of driver shortages caused by a pay dispute between Scotrail and the Aslef union.

Joining us this morning was Robert Sampson from the passenger representative body in Scotland, Transport Focus and we also heard from ScotRail's Service Delivery Director, Kevin Lindsay about why the public-owned railway service hasn't managed to settle the dispute.
