A fresh two-day strike has been launched by RMT members at Scotrail in the ongoing dispute over driver-only trains.

ScotRail workers from the Rail, Maritime and Transport workers' union (RMT) began fresh strike action on Sunday which will last through to Monday.

Some services will be cancelled and others will run less frequently, but ScotRail intends to run around 70% of its services.

The union is opposed to the extension of driver-only trains and wants guards to be in control of operating doors over public safety concerns and in order to protect employee contracts.

ScotRail has called the industrial action "needless" and "damaging" and has said there will be no job losses or pay cuts as a result of its proposed changes.

The rail operator has also sought to downplay safety concerns, insisting there will always be an additional staff member onboard trains to aid the the driver in case of emergency.

Talks between the RMT and ScotRail through the independent conciliation service Acas have so far failed to solve the dispute.

The RMT is planning for further strike action on Thursday July 14, Saturday July 16 and Sunday July 17.
