A Glasgow train service has been completely cut ahead of two major events this weekend. 

Thousands will be travelling to The Open Championship at Royal Troon as well Murrayfield stadium as Rangers take on Manchester United on Saturday. 

Now, ScotRail has informed travellers that the Glasgow to Cumbernauld service will be entirely withdrawn - with no bus replacement.

The national train operator also said a number of other services will be impacted too. 

The Glasgow to Alloa and Glasgow to Newton services will be reduced from half-hourly to hourly

While the Glasgow to Lanark will operate every two hours rather than hourly. 

The first service from Glasgow Central will be 10.20am and the first service from Lanark will be at 11.21 am.

All changes will be in effect on Sunday, July 21. 

It comes as ScotRail are currently operating a temporary timetable due to a pay dispute, meaning fewer drivers being available for rest day working.

Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: “With a temporary timetable currently in operation and two major sporting events taking place this weekend, it is important we advise our customers of what to expect, and to plan ahead for their journey. 

“Additional services will be available for The Open Championship in Troon, and we anticipate services for Edinburgh to be busier than usual before and after the football at Murrayfield. 

“Customers should allow extra time for travel and check their journey on our mobile app the day before travel. 

“We’re sorry for the inconvenience this may cause to customers who have their journey impacted by service alterations. We know how frustrating this can be and thank them for their patience.”
