Additional Scotrail services added amid strike action
Scotrail has put on the services to ease the disruption caused by strikes
Scotrail has announced extra services will run tomorrow after timetables were disrupted by the latest round of RMT strike action.
The train operator had previously advised only 12 routes would operate , despite workers not taking strike action on 5th January.
However, a further 11 services will now run alongside the 12 routes already confirmed across the central belt, Fife and the Borders.
RMT member strikes across the UK took place on Tuesday and Wednesday and will continue on Friday and Saturday - with Scotrail advising customers to check their journey before travelling this week.
Additional services
The newly confirmed services are as follows:
Inverness – Perth.
Inverness – Aberdeen.
Inverness – Wick & Kyle.
Aberdeen – Edinburgh.
Perth – Edinburgh.
Glasgow Queen Street – Fort William / Mallaig / Oban.
Ayr – Stranraer.
Carlisle – Dumfries.
Ayr – Glasgow Central.
Gourock – Glasgow Central.
Neilston – Glasgow Central.
The train operator said the times of the last trains on these routes will vary, but they will generally run until the normal end of service.
David Simpson, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said:
“We have worked really hard to add more services to the timetable for Thursday. We’re pleased that customers will have more travel options throughout the day.
“However, we are still advising customers to check their journeys before they travel and we’re reminding them that we will have to revert to our strike timetable on Friday and Saturday, which we know will be really frustrating for them.'
