ScotRail members at ASLEF, the train drivers union, has accepted the recent pay offer put on the table by the train operator.
ASLEF had previously recommended that members accepted the deal before it put out a referendum, which ended today (14th August).
Train drivers will see a 5% basic pay rise for 2023/24, backdated to 1st April 2023, with a further 1% from the 1st October 2023.
Earlier this year, the RMT Union and Unite Union accepted their pay deals.
David Simpson, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said: “This is fantastic news for our staff and customers. Acceptance of the deal helps us to deliver more certainty on Scotland's Railway for the weeks and months ahead, as we continue to encourage more passengers back to use the railway. The focus of everyone at ScotRail is on delivering a safe, reliable, and green service for our customers.
“We are grateful to our trade union colleagues for their constructive approach to negotiations, which has resulted in a well-deserved pay increase for our staff, while delivering value for the taxpayer in the challenging financial environment in which the railway operates.”
