Trains between Glasgow Central and Lanark will be diverted via Cathcart making journey times longer.

On Balloch – Larkhall services, trains will run between Balloch and Rutherglen with buses between Bridgeton and Larkhall.

Milngavie – Motherwell trains will be diverted via Whifflet and buses will run between Bridgeton and Motherwell via Hamilton.

Finally, trains on the Newton line leaving at 36 minutes past the hour from Glasgow will be extended to Larkhall via Hamilton, while trains at nine minutes past will start back from Larkhall and run to Glasgow via Hamilton.
