SCOTRAIL passengers will be facing disruption this Sunday, with engineering works taking place as services have already been cut back in a pay dispute.
Several routes out of Glasgow Queen Street will be affected and the operator has apologised to travellers.
It said some trains would be diverted while buses would replace others on parts of the network.
What routes are affected?
Here’s a look at the routes affected and ScotRail has encouraged people to keep up to date via their website or app.

What has ScotRail said?
Passengers have been advised to allow extra time for travel and to check their journey times before leaving.
Service delivery director Mark Ilderton said: “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.”
The firm cut 600 services and introduced an emergency timetable after four unions turned down a pay offer this month.
Aslef, Unite, RMT and TSSA have rejected a three-year deal backdated from April this year until 2027 which would see workers receive a 2% rise each April and a 1% increase the following January.
Drivers’ union Aslef is also balloting ScotRail staff over industrial action.
