ScotRail have announced that there will be severer disruption for rail passengers as Network Rail staff are taking strike action next week.
Although ScotRail staff are not taking part in this strike, Network Rail staff in Scotland will be and therefore we will see a knock-on-effort, halting over 95 per cent of services in Scotland.
Those who usually travel by train are being warned to expect disruption throughout the whole week and to avoid travelling by train if possible.

The strike, which is thought to be the largest seen in decades, by RMT members of Network Rail will be on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday next week - June 21, 23 and 25.
On those days, the only trains leaving Edinburgh Waverley will be to Glasgow via Falkirk High, another via Shotts and Bathgate.
Just five ScotRail routes are scheduled to run between 7:30am to 6:30pm on the three days of strike action.
- Edinburgh - Glasgow via Falkirk High: two trains per hour
- Edinburgh - Bathgate: two trains per hour
- Glasgow - Hamilton/Larkhall: two trains per hour
- Glasgow - Lanark: two trains per hour
- Edinburgh - Glasgow via Shotts: one train per hour
ScotRail have yet to release the updated timetable on the Journey Planner and have told customers they will do so by Sunday June 19.

ScotRail said on Twitter: "Final services will depart well before 6.30pm, so customers should plan ahead to ensure they know when their last train will run. Customers on all routes other than those outlined above should be aware they will not be able to travel on a ScotRail service on June 21, 23 & 25."
