ScotRail is advising passengers that strike action set to take place this weekend, 18th and 19th May, has been called off and services will operate as normal.
The news comes following an agreement between the operator and the RMT Union.
Conductors at Glasgow Central, Dumfries, Ayr and Stranraer recently voted in favour of strike action in a dispute over the mode of operation on electric trains to Barrhead.
However, the RMT Union and ScotRail have agreed that consultation will take place up to when trains are expected to enter service, which is anticipated to be around 2030.
“We are pleased to have reached agreement with the RMT, which avoids disruption to ScotRail customers this weekend. The focus for all of us at ScotRail is on delivering a safe, reliable, and green service for our passengers.
“Ahead of the introduction of new electric trains, ScotRail will consult with trade union colleagues about the mode of operation.”
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director
