ScotRail has urged customers to check their journeys in advance amid timetable changes for a number of Glasgow services.

From this Sunday, May 21 trains between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh (via Falkirk High) will be increased to a 15-minute frequency on Saturdays.

A small number of additional daytime services will operate on the Cathcart Circle in South Glasgow from this month, and subject to drivers completing their training, this will be increased to an hourly service from December.

The number of fast services between Glasgow and Gourock that operate out with peak periods will be removed from the timetable.

David Simpson, ScotRail service delivery director, said: “Our new timetable is another step forward for Scotland’s Railway, as we continue to recover from the impact of the pandemic.

“The way people travel has dramatically changed in the past two years, and we are doing everything we can to provide them with the best possible service.

“Increasing the frequency of trains between Edinburgh and Glasgow is a major milestone on the road to recovery, and we have essentially introduced entirely new timetables between Ayrshire and Glasgow, and Inverclyde and Glasgow.

“There is a lot of investment in Scotland’s Railway, with decarbonisation continuing and improvements across the network, and this new timetable is an important part of that.”

Further timetable changes have been set for busy routes across the country.

ScotRail has said there are also plans to operate more daytime and evening services next year, to "cater for leisure trips to the seaside and Glasgow’s hospitality sector".
