RAIL passengers have been warned to expect services on a popular line to be "busier than usual" over the next few months.

It comes after ScotRail announced that due to work at Giffnock station, services on the East Kilbride line will only run with four carriages from Saturday, January 6 until Friday, March 29.

As part of this, the travel firm has advised customers that services may be "busier" than normal.

The rail operator has also advised those travelling on the 8am departure from East Kilbride to consider using an earlier or later train if possible or use other stations on the Neilston route.

 

ScotRail said: "Due to essential platform works, services on the East Kilbride line will run with four carriages only from Saturday, January 6 until Friday, March 29.

"Services may be busier than usual during this time.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

"If you usually catch our popular weekday 8am departure from East Kilbride, please consider travelling earlier or later if you can, or consider using stations on the Neilston route if that's an option for you."
