Train drivers’ union Aslef warned yesterday that transport services at July’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will be disrupted if rail bosses continue to stall on bonus talks.

Aslef wants one-off bonus payments for work involved in providing extra services for spectators at the games, which will cause inevitable knock-on effects across the rail network.

Aslef Scottish secretary Kevin Lindsay said: “If we don’t reach a settlement, ScotRail will have difficulty running their services during the games.
