ScotRail will begin operating a reduced timetable after an ongoing dispute with its drivers.
Services across the north, north east and west coast will be affected as the national rail service cuts over a quarter of trains.
The rail service has been impacted after a refusal to work overtime, which ScotRail say is necessary to run the country’s 2,250 rail services.
Now, to “operate a more reliable service,” a reduced timetable will be in force from Wednesday July 10.
Under the temporary measures only around 1,600 services will be operating between Monday to Saturday.

Customers have also been warned to expect a change in some first or last trains and the number of services provided during the morning and evening peak times.
It is currently unclear how long the new timetable will last.
