The ScotRail Alliance is urging customers who use Carstairs stations to check their journey times before they travel, as engineering works are taking place over the bank holiday weekend.

Journey times will be extended as buses replace trains through Carstairs on 27 and 29 May. On Monday 29 May only, some services will start or terminate at Lanark, with connecting buses running between Carstairs and Lanark.

Replacement buses will depart Carstairs earlier than normal and arrive back later, so customers are being encouraged to plan ahead and check their journey plans on the ScotRail app or at scotrail.co.uk.

A ScotRail Alliance spokesperson said: “These are vital works, and we appreciate our customers’ patience.”
