ScotRail train drivers to be balloted for strike action amid timetable chaos

  1. Weren’t they on strike a few years back? Meant no trains after 7.30 on a Sunday night, cost me a small fortune in taxis .

    Genuinely struggle to feel sorry for them when the service can even have trains turn up on time with a reduced service.

  2. Does anyone know how long the ballot will take to conclude?

    In other words how long do we have to put up with the emergency timetable? 

    I think Japanese strikes work best in this kind of industry: continue to run a normal service but have all revenue collection staff refuse to take fares from passengers or check tickets. The public love them and it hits the employer in the wallet, but it’s admittedly not so great an idea when the railway is nationalised (it’s us paying).
