\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ScotRail has brought into effect a new timetable delivering additional services across parts of the network to support growing demand for leisure travel.<\/p>\n

The improvements include extra services on several routes at weekends, including Glasgow Queen Street \u2013 Anniesland via Maryhill, Glasgow Central \u2013 Kilmarnock, the Levenmouth Rail Link, Edinburgh Waverley \u2013 North Berwick, Ayr \u2013 Glasgow Central, and Edinburgh Waverley \u2013 Aberdeen.<\/p>\n

There will be enhanced Sunday local services in the northeast between Aberdeen and Montrose, and Aberdeen and Inverurie, while more electric trains will operate on the East Kilbride line on Sundays.<\/p>\n

Additional carriages are also being provided on Edinburgh Waverley \u2013 Helensburgh Central services on Friday and Saturday evenings.<\/p>\n

The changes will provide customers with greater flexibility and more travel options for leisure trips, events, and days out across Scotland. Customers will also continue to benefit from fares being frozen until March 2027 alongside the introduction of the enhanced timetable.<\/p>\n

A small number of weekday services will change to support operational requirements and planned engineering works, including work to electrify the Borders Railway route. Customers are encouraged to check their journeys before travelling, as some train times may have changed.<\/p>\n

Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: \u201cFrom tomorrow, we are introducing timetable improvements to support the growing demand for leisure travel and provide customers with more flexibility when travelling across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe changes include additional weekend and late evening services on a number of routes, helping customers travel for events, social occasions, and days out by rail.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlongside the fares freeze, these timetable enhancements offer customers even greater value and convenience when choosing to travel with ScotRail.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage customers to check their journeys before travelling, as some train times may have changed.\u201d<\/p>\n
