"After yesterday's stunning result we have no option but to continue with the rolling programme of action to try and force those calling the shots to take the issues at the heart of this dispute seriously.
"Our campaign of action continues this Sunday on both fronts and it is now down to Scotrail and their political masters to take their staff seriously, show some respect and stop snubbing talks and to get round the table with the union to negotiate a fair and just settlement. "
