Strikes, and trains between Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow this weekend

[NorEast]

From what I can tell, the strikes this weekend should have little impact on trains between Dundee and Glasgow, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Edinburgh and Dundee this weekend - because Scotrail trains should run much as usual. Have I got this right? Thanks!

Scotrail not one of the TOC's directly affected by Saturday's planned industrial action, although LNER and XC services within Scotland almost certainly will be hit, for example on journeys between Edinburgh and Dundee.

Thanks!

And off on a slight tangent from Glasgow/Edinburgh-Dundee - some ScotRail services between Dumfries and Carlisle are cancelled because of Northern staff being on strike e.g. reduced availability of station staff at Carlisle.

I'd forgotten about the strikes this week. Are they still on? Any mention has now slipped down to page 5 of this forum.
