ScotRail has today announced that its full timetable will be restored on Monday, 7 October 2024.
With a pay deal agreed, ScotRail can now restore the service that was in operation before the temporary timetable was introduced on 10 July 2024.
ScotRail is recruiting 160 new drivers every year to reduce its reliance on overtime working – the biggest driver recruitment in Britain. Since ScotRail entered public ownership in April 2022, more than 250 drivers have been recruited.
ScotRail also recently launched new ticket offers to reward those customers who travel most often with ScotRail, including an extra 20 per cent off season tickets for the next 12 months – delivering savings of more than 40 per cent on some routes – and 12 Flexipass tickets for the price of 10, giving customers around one third off.
More information is available at the ScotRail website here.
This follows the end of the off-peak all-day trial on 27 September 2024.
Mark Ilderton, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said:
"We are delighted to confirm that our full timetable will return on Monday. We have been working round the clock to deliver this in a very short space of time because we know how important a full service is to our customers.
"It’s been a difficult few months for our customers and staff, and we thank everybody for their patience.
"With a pay deal agreed and the full timetable back in place, everyone at ScotRail is focused on delivering a safe, reliable, and green service for our customers."
