Rail strike Glasgow: What ScotRail routes will be running and when

Railway passengers in Glasgow and across Scotland face major travel disruption over the coming week due to planned strikes by Network Rail and train company staff.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) has announced the action over three days - with half of Britain's railway lines set to be closed as a result.

ScotRail journeys are set to be widely disrupted in the largest rail strike since 1989.

Although the action does not directly involve staff at the Scottish Government-owned operator, the strikes will have an effect on the firm's ability to provide services throughout next week.

Just five ScotRail routes are scheduled to run between 7:30am to 6:30pm on the three days of strike action. (@NetworkRailGQS)

The first strike will take place on Tuesday, June 21. The second is on Thursday, June 23 and the third is on Saturday, June 25.

ScotRail says that the industrial action involves Network Rail staff in Scotland who occupy 'safety critical' roles and as a result it will make it impossible for the operator to run the vast majority of its services.

Customers of the firm have now been told to prepare for 'significant' disruption.

Just five ScotRail routes are scheduled to run between 7:30am to 6:30pm on the three days of strike action.

  • Edinburgh - Glasgow via Falkirk High: two trains per hour
  • Edinburgh - Bathgate: two trains per hour
  • Glasgow - Hamilton/Larkhall: two trains per hour
  • Glasgow - Lanark: two trains per hour
  • Edinburgh - Glasgow via Shotts: one train per hour

ScotRail tweeted: "Final services will depart well before 1830, so customers should plan ahead to ensure they know when their last train will run. Customers on all routes other than those outlined above should be aware they will not be able to travel on a ScotRail service on 21, 23 & 25 June."
