Several big events in Scotland have been impacted by disruption to the timetable over a pay dispute.

Around 700 services were cut on 23 May when the dispute began and an emergency timetable was introduced.

Audiences at TRNSMT music festival in Glasgow on Sunday were told they would miss last trains home if they stayed to watch headliner Lewis Capaldi. He said: "That's been immensely frustrating - we're used to seeing rail as a key partner for these big events and people relying on rail to get to and from and enjoying the events without that kind of worry.

It should be remembered that drivers were simply declining to work additional hours - this was not industrial action by the union.Officially restoring a full service on, say, a Thursday may seem random even if this were possible - there is an argument that it would be clearer to the public if the timetable changed on a Monday.
