LNER has announced that their Edinburgh train service will be returning to a full timetable from Valentines Day.
The train operator had to run a reduced service in recent weeks due to staff shortages caused by the Omicron variant.
However, with infections subsiding and staffing levels returning to normal train services are set to resume their full service again.

LNER also announced that hot meals, including complimentary cooked breakfasts for First Class passengers would reintroduced from Wednesday, January 19.
Services that have been shelved due to staff absences will be reinstated. It will mean more trains between Edinburgh and London, via stations including Berwick, Alnmouth, Newcastle, Durham and Darlington.
David Horne managing director at LNER said: “We are delighted to announce that we will be increasing our timetable from the 14th February 2022, connecting even more customers across our route just in time for half-term school holidays in parts of the country and Valentine’s Day.
“Like many in the transport sector, we have been impacted by staff absence due to Covid and had to make some changes to our services to minimise inconvenience for our customers. We are now seeing fewer staff absences and expect that to continue, so we’re looking forward to increasing our services and encouraging more people to discover our destinations and legendary customer experience.”
Tickets are on sale for LNER journeys through to May 13, 2022.
