5, August, 2010, Union RMT upping the anty against Scotrail. 
The legal challenge will be based on the failure of Scotrail to adhere to a binding agreement with RMT not to extend Driver Only Operations which was signed off back in 2001. The union has concrete legal opinion that the 2001 agreement is still absolutely valid.

RMT will also be stepping up the political campaign, targeted at the Scottish Government, to enforce the current franchise agreement on safe staffing levels on their services which are compromised by the profit-driven dash to Driver Only Operation. The political campaign will also address the on-going scandal of indemnities paid out from precious taxpayer funds to prop up Scotrail’s strike-breaking operations.
