UK-wide industrial action by the RMT union will affect ScotRail services on Saturday and Sunday.

Train passengers in Scotland are facing a second day of disruption during strike action by Network Rail staff.ScotRail is running a very limited schedule and said some trains would continue to be affected on Sunday, as services resume after the strike.

Network Rail owns and maintains railway infrastructure - tracks, bridges, tunnels and signals. About 40,000 staff are striking in the pay dispute.It is running trains on just 12 routes across the central belt, Fife and the Borders between 07:30 and 18:30.

The unions are expected to meet rail employers and the UK rail minister on Monday to try to find a way forward.in the current parliamentary session, which would mean unions could be sued if they do not provide minimum levels of fire, ambulance and rail services. The legislation - which would not resolve the current wave of strikes - would apply in England, Scotland and Wales - but not in Northern Ireland.
