EXTRA train services and more carriages are to run on many of Scotland's busiest routes in an effort to manage demand over the festival season.

ScotRail Alliance has announced a revised timetable for a number of routes, including the Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street line.

But passengers are urged to plan well ahead, booking their journeys in advance where possible, owing to the huge demand expected on many lines.

Perry Ramsey, operations director at the ScotRail Alliance, said: “To make journeys as hassle free as possible we are urging passengers to plan their journeys in advance by visiting scotrail.co.uk, downloading the ScotRail app and buying a ticket before they board.”
