PASSENGERS are being urged to plan their travel arrangements ahead of time after ScotRail announced that its services would cease running before the end of the Trnsmt music festival in Glasgow.
ScotRail announced earlier this week that a temporary timetable was being introduced after four rail unions rejected a pay offer.
The operator currently relies on staff volunteering to do overtime in order to run its full timetable.
However, the union Aslef warned that it could launch industrial action over the pay offer as many drivers and staff now refuse to work on their days off.
In a statement on Sunday, ScotRail said: “Services terminate before the festival finishes.
“Please consider alternative arrangements when travelling home from TRNSMT today.”
Trnsmt is Scotland’s largest music festival with around 50,000 people attending on each day of the three-day event in Glasgow.
Scots DJ Calvin Harris is due to perform on Sunday however changes to the ScotRail timetable mean that many revellers will be forced to find other means of getting home.
ScotRail has said it is “fully committed” to further talks with the unions.
"We've got a reduced service across our entire network and we're operating around 50% of our normal Sunday timetable,” said ScotRail communications director David Ross.
"Drivers are not making themselves available to work rest days, as is their contractual right."
