Day 8 of RMT strike outside Glasgow Central Station. RMT union strike action will cause a reduced rail service in Scotland over the next three days. Passengers will face significant disruption with only a limited number of train services operating on around a dozen routes across the country.

Cross-border services will also be significantly affected by the strike action and engineering works in North East England. Those services which are operating will run between 07:30 and 18:30, with passengers being asked to plan ahead and check their journey before travelling.

Network Rail say this will cause 'significant disruption' in Scotland.

Liam Sumpter, Route Director, Network Rail Scotland, said: “This strike will once again cause significant disruption to passengers, businesses and the wider community in Scotland.

“While we will do all that we can to minimise the impact and to get people where they need to be, passengers should only travel by rail if absolutely necessary.

“Please check your journey in advance as those services that are operating will finish much earlier in the evening.”

Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central will close much earlier than normal (19:00) on Saturday and services will start later than normal on Sunday.
