Jacqueline Taggart from the ScotRail Alliance said: "We are going through a massive period of change on Scotland's railway.
"The work that we are carrying out over the next few months will bring about a revolution in rail, with more and better trains, more services and more seats than ever before.
"However, while we transform the railway, there is inevitably going to be some impact on people's services.
"We are doing everything we can to minimise this, and to keep people moving."
