26th/29th Trains

[seanshow]

Looking ahead to the Livingston away game on 29th December, there are planned network rail works before haymarket 27th/28th/29th/
ie nae trains.(for those who usually use that medium of transport)

as far as those going to tynie by train on boxing day, which would include myself.
I still can't find info if there are trains in/out Edinburgh on the 26th?

Trains on the 29th the day of Livi game are scheduled to restart at 10 am so should be ok for Livingston game.

It does look like there are no trains on Boxing Day operating out of Edinburgh. Only seems to be trains out of Glasgow seems odd.

Was the same last year when we were at Ibrox on Boxing Day, no trains from Edinburgh. Had to get the bus through.

Wonder why it is so different in comparison to trains around Glasgow.

They are replacing the junction just west of Haymarket so no trains into Edinburgh from the West or North possible. Cant run the new electric trains round the old South Suburban line as its not wired so effectively the capital is cut off from the rail network

Because in Glasgow the suburban network used to be (or maybe still is) part run by SPT - Strathclyde Passenger Transport and they have an agreement that trains will run on Boxing day, albeit a very limited service in the SPT area only. There has never been a ScotRail service on boxing day out with this area.

Haymarket East Jn is up for renewal, there will be a very limited service able to use the North lines at Haymarket.

This is assuming theres no possession overrun, bad weather can hamper the renewal team as well as things like equipment failures and things taking longer in general as its a massive job.
