Strikes on Saturday - disruption in Scotland?

[NorEast]

I'm thinking of travelling from Dundee to either Edinburgh or Glasgow. It looks like these routes might not be badly affected by the strikes (lots of ScotRail trains) but this is non-essential travel so I can cancel if things will be difficult. What do you think?

Other than perhaps being busier over routes/between stations normally served by LNER etc, ScotRail should be broadly unaffected on the 13th.

They are running their present timetable without any changes.

Thanks! And are things likely to be more disrupted on Aug 20?

Yes, because the RMT Union represents Network Rail and the past occasions the RMT has been on strike only five ScotRail routes have operated, and on a reduced timetable:

Edinburgh-Glasgow QS via Falkirk High
Edinburgh-Glasgow Central via Shotts
Edinburgh-Bathgate
Glasgow-Lanark
Glasgow-Hamilton/Larkhall

And all only between about 0730-1830

I.e. - nothing to/from Dundee at all

CrossCountry have nothing running on that day according to their Twitter feed!

I believe they just haven't confirmed the timetable for that day yet.

Thanks again!
