SCOTRAIL has confirmed it will be providing extra night-time services after Scotland’s World Cup play-off game on Wednesday following fears over fans struggling to get home due to timetable cuts.
With a shortage of drivers and a pay dispute leading to them ruling out rest-day working, bosses decided to slash hundreds of services to provide more “certainty” and avoid further cancellations.

ScotRail moved to its temporary timetable last week, cancelling 700 services and axing a large number of late-night services.
While the operator said there will be additional services between Glasgow and Mount Florida, the station nearest the national stadium, it was thought that final services to most of Scotland’s major cities will leave before the Ukraine game even kicks off.
But on Monday evening the train provider said they’d been “working hard” to provide more late services to other major towns and cities and had been able to do so.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
