Train timetables will get back to normal after electrific­ation work

-

The first stage of electrific­ation work on the Stirling-DunblaneAl­loa train line will be completed this month.

From Sunday, May 20, train services will return to normal timetables, ScotRail Alliance has announced.

Customers travelling between Glasgow; Edinburgh and Stirling; Dunblane; Alloa; Perth and Dundee have seen buses replace trains in the evening and at weekends since September 2016 while the major improvemen­t works were carried out.

The first section to be electrifie­d as part of the project covers 26 single track kilometres and includes Falkirk Grahamston and Camelon stations.

The remaining work to electrify the route will take place at night to avoid disruption.
