Routine slab track replacement work is being carried out, which will improve drainage and track reliability on the route.

Rob Shorthouse, ScotRail Alliance communications director, said: “We are working hard to build the best railway that Scotland has ever had.

“We know that having your regular journey changed can be a pain, but all this work really is going to be worth it.

“We are carrying out the biggest upgrade to the network since it was built in Victorian times – and it will mean more seats, faster, more reliable journeys and more and better services.

“You can find out more about these changes and what it means for your own journey by visiting the ScotRail website or by downloading our free app.

“Even although your normal journey might be different while this work is going on, we will keep you moving.”
