🚞 Glenfinnan is a hamlet in the Lochaber area of the Highlands of Scotland, but don't let its small size fool you. From our station museum to the Glenfinnan monument, it packs a punch in things to see & do. It also has one of the world’s best known viaducts, maybe you know of it?

To ensure a reliable service, we’re making some further changes to the timetable for Sunday, 28 July. Please watch our video for further details. Check your journey using the ScotRail app or website which have been updated with all the service alterations for Sunday.

🏰 Open from April to October each year, Dunrobin Castle station is as beautiful as it sounds. Located beside the most northerly of Scotland's great houses & the largest in the Northern Highlands with a staggering 189 rooms, we decided to pay a visit to check out what's on offer.

We're proud to be supporting Glasgow Pride this year. Everyone is welcome on Scotland's Railway. Here's what Pride means to us. 🌈💙

A station by the Loch. Duncraig (Dùn na Creige) is a request stop station that sits on the banks of Loch Carron on our Kyle of Lochalsh line, near to the village of Plockton. Originally opened in 1897 as a private station for Duncraig Castle, it can now be enjoyed by all. ⛵️

ScotRail is issuing travel advice to customers ahead of a busy sporting weekend. This weekend will see the final two days of play at The Open Championship at Royal Troon, while Rangers will take on Manchester United at Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh on Saturday. To help golf fans catch the action at The Open, the train operator is providing extra services and more seats during busy times to and from Troon over the weekend. Between the practice day on Wednesday and the first day’s play on Thursday, 50,000 Open spectators travelled with ScotRail. With kick-off at 16.00 on Saturday at Murrayfield for the pre-season friendly between Rangers and Manchester United, with an expected attendance of 57,900, ScotRail is also advising customers travelling to Edinburgh that trains will be much busier than usual, both before and after the match. Customers not attending the football are being encouraged to consider travelling at quieter times. With ScotRail currently operating a temporary timetable due to fewer drivers being available for rest day working (as is their contractual right) during an ASLEF pay dispute, this weekend will see a number of additional alterations to train services which may impact on journeys. On Saturday, 20 July, customers are advised of the following changes to ScotRail services: · Glasgow - Alloa service will be reduced from half-hourly to hourly. Trains will depart from Alloa at 45 minutes past the hour and from Glasgow at 49 minutes past the hour. · Most services between Edinburgh and North Berwick will be withdrawn, with a bus replacement in operation for most of the day. Trains will operate the 0639, 0716, 0753, and 0833 North Berwick to Edinburgh and the 2140 and 2314 Edinburgh to North Berwick services. · Glasgow - Newton service will be reduced form half-hourly to hourly with departures from Glasgow at 45 minutes past the hour and from Newton at 19 minutes past the hour. On Sunday, 21 July: · Edinburgh – Tweedbank will operate every three hours rather than hourly. Departures from Tweedbank to Edinburgh will be at 0947, 1248, 1547 and 1848 and from Edinburgh to Tweedbank at 1113, 1411, 1712, 2011 and 2210. · Edinburgh – North Berwick services will operate every two hours rather than hourly. The first service from Edinburgh will be at 0937 and the first service from North Berwick will be at 1024. · Edinburgh – Dunblane services will operate with two services every three hours, rather than hourly. The first service Edinburgh will be at 0935 and the first service from Dunblane will be at 0945. · Glasgow – Cumbernauld will be withdrawn. Unfortunately, bus replacement is not possible. · Glasgow – Lanark will operate every two hours rather than hourly. The first service from Glasgow Central 1020 and the first service from Lanark will be at 1121. ➡ https://lnkd.in/ePMSMc7u

Services between Glasgow Central and Troon are set to be very busy this week as the 152nd Open at Royal Troon takes place. If you’re heading to the event, please check out our wee video with some handy travel advice!

We’ll be running extra trains during busy times and offering a special rail & bus ticket for fans heading to the The 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon from 14 – 21 July. Fans will be able to purchase a two-in-one GolfLink ticket which includes return rail travel to Troon as well as access to the Stagecoach shuttle bus service linking the station with the course.  Alternatively, customers can purchase a stand-alone rail ticket to Troon if they wish to walk to the station via the designated walking route.   The simplest way to buy tickets is online, using the ScotRail app or website. It will also reduce the possibility of queueing, as trains are expected to be very busy. Find out more here:
