2022 ScotRail timetable cuts

In 2022, daily ScotRail services were reduced by a third due to driver shortages.
Background
Since ASLEF decided it would ballot its members for strike action, many drivers elected not to work overtime. In May 2022, many Sunday services were cancelled due to driver shortages.
ScotRail stated that the COVID-19 pandemic had prevented them from training an estimated 130 drivers.
On 1 June 2022, ASLEF announced that it had rejected an improved pay offer from ScotRail.
Service cuts
The temporary timetable was brought in on Monday 23 May 2022. The number of daily services was cut by around a third, from approximately 2,150 to 1,456. Many early morning and late night services were cancelled.
Services between Wick and Inverness on the Far North Line were cut from four trains each way per day to two. Stagecoach Highlands are expected to introduce an additional bus service on the route starting 6 June 2022.
