Further rail strikes are set to cause disruption this week as further strike action is planned by RMT members of Network Rail.
Strikes will take part across the country on Wednesday, July 27, causing rail travel to see delays and significant disruption.
ScotRail has warned that there will also be some disruption the evening before and the morning after the strike, caused by the closing and re-opening of signal boxes.
What ScotRail services are affected by the strikes?
On Wednesday, only the following ScotRail services will be running and only between the hours of 7:30am and 6:30pm:
- 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
Final services on these routes will depart well before 18.30, so customers should check before travelling.
You can see the full list of cancelled services for the 3-day disruption period on the ScotRail website here.

Last week, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Strike action will take place next Wednesday as planned and our members are more determined than ever to secure a decent pay rise, job security and good working conditions.
“Network Rail have not made any improvement on their previous pay offer and the train companies have not offered us anything new.
“RMT will continue to negotiate in good faith but we will not be bullied or cajoled by anyone."
