ScotRail new timetable: How are routes in and around Glasgow affected? First and last train times to Cathcart, Barrhead and Anniesland - and strike explained

Temporary timetables will start on Monday (May 23) with revised timetables for Saturdays and Sundays to be introduced in the future.

ScotRail says that a number of train drivers have not made themselves available for overtime or rest day working due to possible strike action.

Services impacted include those between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh - via Shotts, via Falkirk High, and via Airdrie and Bathgate.

The last trains on the Edinburgh-Glasgow main line will leave at 10:15pm in each direction compared to 11:45pm, which was the norm

Also the Glasgow-Aberdeen has been reduced to two-hourly. The last train from Glasgow to Aberdeen will now depart at 6.41pm, instead of 9.40pm. The Glasgow to Mallaig service, which usually leaves at 6.21pm, now departs at 12.22pm.
