THE ScotRail Alliance’s new timetable starts on Sunday, December 11 and the train operator is asking customers to take a minute to check their own journeys before travelling.

The winter 16/17 timetable has a number of small changes to train times and services across Scotland, as the operator continues its drive to improve performance. 

A spokeswoman said: “Some trains may depart a few minutes earlier or later than they presently do.  Commuters in particular should check ahead, before Monday morning comes around.”
