ScotRail cancelling services

[Mathieu]

I have to go from Milngavie - Euston on the 27th

My itinerary is as follows:

22:44 Milngavie - Glasgow Central
23:40 Glasgow Central - London Euston

I won't be able to get there (Milngavie) until after 21:30 and the last train leaves just after 20:00.

Spoke to ScotRail on the phone and told me they take no responsibility as the timetable has been changed so that service doesn't exist. Are there any rules/regulations stopping them from removing services from the timetable so soon?

They're wanting to put people off travelling anyway, so...

If your Glasgow to Euston train is the Caledonian Sleeper, I don't think that it runs on a Saturday night.

I don't see why there would be. If the timetable is going to be changed, surely best to give as much notice as possible.

Really? You haven’t noticed that much of the country (and indeed the world) is rapidly grinding to a halt in an attempt to save maybe hundreds of thousands of lives?

If your journey is still necessary then suggest you book a cab or Uber to ensure you get to Glasgow Central in time. My phone suggests it should take around 25 mins, and I doubt there will be much other traffic to hold your cab up.

As of today First Scotland is saying that the 60A will be running next week. If so there will be a 22.05 bus from Milngavie getting to Union St, Central Station at 22.42.

If not running by next week then a taxi will be your best bet.

Caledonian Sleeper website says all bookings for the Lowlander from Thursday 26th March to 30th May 2020 have been cancelled, so not much point getting to Glasgow Central.

It's the bookings that have been cancelled, not the trains. So if you were booked to travel between those dates, the reservation has been cancelled and the money will be refunded.

If one absolutely must travel, you can rebook for travel between those dates at the moment.

It's not entirely unlikely they will be cancelled full stop at some however.

Lowlander Services on Thursday 26th March to 30th May 2020

Please note, guests booked to travel on the Lowlander services, all of these reservations have been cancelled until 30th May 2020. If you wish to travel on this service then you will have to rebook via our website.

If the Highlander is operating then travelling via Dalmuir could be an option.

If the Highlander is operating then travelling via Dalmuir could be an option.

The Fort William portion is one of the cancelled ones, so Glasgow Central is about the closest sleeper-served station to Milngavie.
