A full ScotRail timetable is set to be restored from Monday 7th October 2024 following a pay deal agreement.

The temporary timetable was introduced on the 10th of July 2024 but Mark Ilderton from ScotRail says that they have been ‘working around the clock’ to deliver a full service.

The operator says that they are recruiting 160 new drivers a year to reduce its reliance on overtime working, with 250 drivers being recruited since ScotRail entered public ownership in April 2022.

“We are delighted to confirm that our full timetable will return on Monday. We have been working round the clock to deliver this in a very short space of time because we know how important a full service is to our customers.

“It’s been a difficult few months for our customers and staff, and we thank everybody for their patience.

“With a pay deal agreed and the full timetable back in place, everyone at ScotRail is focused on delivering a safe, reliable, and green service for our customers.”
