It was announced on Friday that the train operator had come to an agreement with the drivers’ union, ASLEF, meaning that services can return to normal.
ScotRail introduced a temporary, reduced timetable in May, cutting hundreds of services, while the pay dispute with ASLEF had been running.

Now that an agreement has been reached, 700 extra trains per day will be added to schedules.
When do ScotRail services return to normal?
The full ScotRail timetable will restart on Wednesday, July 20.
ScotRail said: “Work is now in progress to ensure that the timetable can be fully restored, with train planning staff working flat out to carry out the changes required for the near 700 services to be reintroduced.
