Despite ScotRail timetables reverting back to May 2022 levels of service, the operator has urged customers to check their journeys due to the aftereffects of the heatwave. The return to full services today, July 20, follows the resolution of the pay dispute between ScotRail and the drivers union ASLEF.
However, travellers have been reminded to double check their journey due to knock-on disruptions from the recent record-breaking heatwave. Trains between Scotland and London were cancelled on Wednesday amid ongoing repair work.
Nearly 700 services will be introduced after a period of turmoil by the government-owned operator. A temporary timetable was introduced on May 23 after ScotRail drivers refused to work overtime and on rest days, leading to a slew of cancellations.
