and Glasgow, accused train drivers’ union Aslef of carrying out ‘unofficial strike action’ from Saturday.
‘The reduced timetable is being introduced to ensure a reliable service is delivered so our customers can travel with greater certainty,’ he added. He explained drivers often work voluntarily on their rest days for extra pay – but this has suddenly reduced massively, disrupting services. He added more than 250 new drivers are currently being recruited and trained.
‘They are a cheapskate company that will not train enough drivers and rely on rest day working. The company is selling its customers short.‘It’s a time of year when many people are on holiday. Drivers do not have to work overtime and do not wish to volunteer to work on glorious summer days.’
It's not an unofficial strike, they're simply not working overtime and therefore having their Rest Day.... maybe if there were more staff the whole timetable could be covered 🤔
