What Glasgow trains will run during industrial strikes in December

As the busiest time of the year gets into full swing, commuters in Glasgow and beyond will be facing travel chaos as RMT strikes disrupt Scotland.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union will be staging industrial action, after a pay deal was rejected. Network Rail Scotland staff will be taking part in these strikes, so many trains in Scotland will be affected.

ScotRail have released a revised timetable to warn travellers about the serious disruption they will face across this weekend. Today (December 16) and tomorrow (December 17) are included in this new timetable.
