Scots face Xmas rail chaos with UK Gov 'posted missing' as more strikes loom

Scots face transport chaos this festive season unless the UK Government can finally resolve an industrial dispute between Network Rail and unions, an SNP minister has warned. Jenny Gilruth told the Record services would be "hammered" across the country if railway staff walk-out as planned in December and January in a row over pay and job cuts.

Gilruth said: "There has been no meaningful dialogue on this at all. There is a feeling the UK Government has been posted missing on transport issues at the moment. Given the rail structure is reserved, there is nothing the Scottish Government can do to resolve this dispute. And yet it is going to hammer our services.

She continued: "That isn't how you resolve disputes - particularly given the constitutional element. As Network Rail is reserved, there should be a collaborative approach. And it is worth saying that we do fund Network Rail in Scotland."

Well if you lot did your jobs properly you would not excluded from them.also telling the truth is a must .
