The train operator will only be able to run 12 routes across the central belt, Fife and the Borders
Last updated 13th Dec 2022
ScotRail has warned passengers to expect massive disruption during the latest round of RMT strikes.
While the dispute does not involve ScotRail staff directly, it will impact on the ability of the operator to run its trains on the network.
Members of the union at Network Rail are currently voting on a pay offer - with the ballot due to close on Monday.
Members of the union rejected the latest pay offer on Monday.
Action is slated for Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday across the British network.
Which routes will be running?
Scotrail say plan to run services on 12 routes across the central belt, Fife, and the Borders between the hours of 07.30 and 18.30 from:
Edinburgh Waverley – Glasgow Queen Street via Falkirk High: two trains per hour
Edinburgh Waverley – Helensburgh Central: two trains per hour
Glasgow Central – Hamilton/Larkhall: two trains per hour
Glasgow Central – Lanark: two trains per hour
Edinburgh Waverley – Glasgow Central via Shotts: one train per hour
Edinburgh Waverley – Cowdenbeath: two trains per hour
Edinburgh Waverley – Tweedbank: two trains per hour
Edinburgh Waverley – North Berwick: one train per hour
Edinburgh Waverley – Larbert: one train per hour
Glasgow Queen Street – Larbert: one train per hour
Glasgow Queen Street – Falkirk Grahamston: one train per hour
Milngavie – Springburn: two trains per hour
Scotrail is warning customers that the final services will depart well before 18:30, so customers should plan ahead and ensure they know when their last train will depart.
Due to the greater reliance on manual signalling outside the Central Belt, Network Rail is unable to facilitate passenger services on any other routes on the strike days.
