SCOTRAIL has said it will increase the number of services “and seats where possible’ in November as it prepares for a “bumper month” of sport.
The rail operator did not say which services, or how many, would increase in the weeks ahead.
The announcement comes ahead of a several big sporting events next month, including Scotland's rugby games against Fiji at Murrayfield on November 2, South Africa on November 10, Portugal on November 16 and Australia on November 24.
Fans attending the games are advised to plan their journeys in advance and leave extra time for travel.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail’s customer operations director, said: “November is set to be a bumper month of sport across Scotland’s Railway, and we’ll be doing all we can to support travel to and from the events with more seats and more services, where possible.
“With a number of high-profile rugby and football matches taking place, trains are expected to be much busier than usual, so we’re encouraging everyone to allow extra time for travel and check their journey in advance via our online journey planner."
He added, “Buying return tickets before you board through mTickets on our mobile app will help your journey run smoothly.”
