Sleepers to be cancelled over strike

CALEDONIAN Sleeper services are to be cancelled after staff confirmed planned industrial action will take place.

The RMT union claims members have been put under “intolerable” stress as a result of mismanagement and said operators Serco did not address concerns raised.

Members have been instructed not to book on shift between noon on Sunday and 11.59pm on Tuesday October 1.

After the action was confirmed yesterday, a statement on the Caledonian Sleeper website said services on Sunday and Monday would be cancelled.
