The deal means that all ScotRail general grades – conductors, ticket examiners and station staff – will see a five per cent pay for rise for 2023/24, with an additional

£750 increase for lowest paid members of staff.

ASLEF – the train drivers’ union – is currently conducting a referendum of its members on a similar pay offer.
