Thousands of National Rail staff are striking across the UK after a dispute over pay and working conditions. While ScotRail are not included, the industrial action has had a knock-on-effect with trains grinding to a halt across the majority of Scotland.
During the days of strike action, only five services will operate in the whole of the country, connecting only the central belt with services to and from Edinburgh and Glasgow, linking Bathgate and Lanarkshire. And ScotRail have warned customers to expect disruptions throughout the whole week.
A day after the first strike, the train service informed passengers that there would be delays on Wednesdays due to lines reopening. This is expected to happen again on Friday and Sunday in the wake of industrial action.
