SCOTRAIL should slash fares after hitting passengers with swingeing service cuts, according to train drivers’ union Aslef.
Earlier this week, the Scottish government-owned company announced a temporary timetable, axing hundreds of services across the country and cutting half of all Sunday trains.
ScotRail blame the decision on a shortage of drivers amid an Aslef overtime ban after workers voted to reject a below-inflation 2 per cent pay offer.
