A NUMBER of Inverclyde train journeys were cancelled this morning due to a shortage of crew.
There was widespread disruption across the ScotRail network yesterday, with around a quarter of all services believed to be cancelled.
The rail operator said this was due to fewer drivers than usual being available to work overtime or rest days.
Last week, train drivers’ union Aslef told ScotRail it was considering balloting for industrial action as a pay row continues.
