Train services in Dumfries and Galloway are set to return to normal.

ScotRail is bringing back its full timetable after the schedule was slashed in July due to a pay dispute with unions.

However, that dispute has been resolved, with the regular timetable starting again on Monday.

ScotRail service delivery director, Mark Ilderton, said: “We are delighted to confirm that our full timetable will return on Monday.

“We have been working round the clock to deliver this in a very short space of time because we know how important a full service is to our customers. It’s been a difficult few months for our customers and staff, and we thank everybody for their patience.

“With a pay deal agreed and the full timetable back in place, everyone at ScotRail is focused on delivering a safe, reliable, and green service for our customers.”

The temporary timetable was introduced as the dispute meant fewer drivers were available to work on rest days and overtime.

As a result, the final Glasgow to Dumfries train left at 7.13pm, rather than 10.14pm. And the last train from Carlisle to Dumfries left at 9.11pm rather than 11.10pm.
