A new timetable offering hourly trains from Invergowrie to Perth was littered with “unacceptable” cancellations on its first day of use.
Trains will run on the hour, beginning at Glasgow Queen Street and stopping at Dundee but drivers with the ASLEF union have been striking over pay and the service across the country has suffered from multiple cancelled trains.
Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth said the driver shortages were causing “significant disruption” across the network.
