ScotRail bosses have urged passengers – including football fans – to consider alternative travel arrangements over the festive period
ahead of further strike action by RMT members of Network Rail.
The RMT strike is likely to affect crowd numbers at a number of football matches due to be played on Christmas Eve. Supporters are being reminded services will wind down from 3pm onwards – potentially affecting how they will get home come the full time whistle. "For ScotRail, this is going to mean significant disruption with last trains stopping earlier than usual on Christmas Eve, no services on Boxing Day, and later first trains on Tuesday, 27 December. We know this is really frustrating for everyone impacted and we’re urging customers to plan ahead and check their entire journey in advance.”
