Travellers on Scotland’s railways are facing yet more problems from today.
They have been warned to expect last-minute cancellations on ScotRail trains as staff begin an overtime ban.
Members of the RMT union are not working any overtime amid a pay dispute with the operator.
ScotRail said the action will see some daily cancellations, as the operation of its services requires rest-day working and overtime while staff recruitment continues.
It added: "We're doing everything we can to minimise disruption, and to keep customers updated on which services are impacted.
"Our systems will be updated each night, so the best thing to do is to check your journey in the morning before you travel."
Offer rejected
It is the latest industrial action from rail workers after the union rejected a renewed pay offer last week.
The BBC says the strike involves non-driver staff, including engineers, conductors, ticket examiners, station staff and cleaners.
The RMT rejected ScotRail's latest package of a 5% basic pay increase, a six-year job guarantee, a one-off £500 payment for technology such as mobile phones and improved maternity leave conditions.
The company had also put forward a further payment of £390 and enhanced commission for front-line teams.
About 2,000 employees at ScotRail are members of the RMT.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail's head of customer operations, told the BBC: "We are really disappointed with this additional industrial action, which will again impact on our customers, following the strike action earlier in the week.
Lost income
"The ban on overtime does nothing for the railway's recovery during this challenging time and, in addition to the impact on those travelling, it will further cost our staff with lost income.
"We do rely on staff working overtime in various parts of the business as we actively recruit to fill vacancies, and unfortunately there will be some daily cancellations starting from Friday and throughout the period of the RMT's ban
"We are continuing to meet with RMT representatives to resolve this dispute."
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our industrial action campaign on ScotRail will continue until we can find a just settlement to our dispute.
"We are open to meaningful talks with ScotRail at any time to discuss all the outstanding issues."
- ScotRail is also reminding customers that buses are replacing trains for 11 days on a section of the Aberdeen-Inverness route.
From just before midnight tonight until 4.45am on Wednesday, October 26, Network Rail engineers will carry out extensive work between Inverness and Nairn as part of the wider programme of enhancements being delivered around the new Inverness Airport station.
