Union members, who have been embroiled in a bitter dispute with bosses, will now vote on whether to accept the improved terms tabled by the firm.

The RMT has now called off its strikes and overtime ban until a result is determined from a poll to be carried out among members. Phil Campbell, ScotRail's head of customer operations, has urged members to accept. The agreement to consult with members comes after a meeting between the rail firm and union on Wednesday and the RMT's national executive committee meeting on Thursday.

The rail firm said it would mean an average increase of 7.5% for general grades, which includes roles such as conductors, ticket examiners, and station staff.Other measures offered include an increase in the minimum wage to £10.50 an hour and putting the Sunday working allowance up by 10%.
