Due to ASLEF strike action, ScotRail is operating a new temporary timetable.

ScotRail is trying to run as many services as possible, however this weekend (17th, 18th August) will be very busy.

In an attempt to alleviate some of the pressure, they are adding as many carriages as they can to running services.

ScotRail are advising that passengers should plan ahead and check before they travel during this event-filled weekend.

Saturday will see the Rangers versus St Johnstone match at Hampden Park and Sunday sees Celtic play Hibernian at Celtic Park.

Additionally, Edinburgh Festivals continue throughout the weekend.

Sundays timetable is running the least amount of trains which should be updated by the 16th August.

“This will be another busy weekend for travel across Scotland’s Railway and we are doing everything we can to help customers get to the football matches in Glasgow and the events in Edinburgh.

“Customers are reminded that with the temporary timetable currently in place, there are fewer services than normal in operation. But to support both the football and the Edinburgh Festivals, we’ve made changes to our temporary timetable, including extra seats and services and late-night trains to get people to and from Edinburgh.

“With trains expected to be busier than usual, we’re encouraging everyone to allow extra time for travel, don’t wait for the last train of the night if you can, and check their journey in advance via our online journey planner.

“Buying return tickets before you board using our mTicket system on our mobile app will help your journey run smoothly.”
