A number of train services in Scotland will be impacted during Wednesday’s rail strike.
More than 40,000 workers at Network Rail and 14 train operating companies are set to strike in a dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) will walk out on Wednesday, potentially crippling rail services across the country.
The Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) has also announced a strike by its members at Avanti West Coast on the same day.
