Most ScotRail trains cancelled due to strike action on Sunday with limited services running

Most ScotRail services will be cancelled tomorrow due to strike action over an ongoing pay dispute.

A minimal number of services will be running on Sunday and for key workers there will be limited bus services.

The rail provider has put on routes to University Hospital Hairmyres, Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline, University Hospital Wishaw and Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy.

ScotRail tweeted a warning to customers and apologised for any inconvenience cause.

The post said: "We’re advising customers that most ScotRail services will be cancelled Sunday, 23 May, because of strike action by the RMT during the COVID-19 pandemic over calls for a 50% increase in overtime payments for no additional hours worked."

A statement on their website added: " We appreciate the inconvenience this will have on your travel plans, and we are running every service possible to minimise disruption."

The RMT union is calling for pay justice and equality for workers and has launched a petition.

Last month members voted in favour of a strike and May 2 marked the beginning of six weeks of action.

Information on the services still running can be found on the ScotRail website.
