A host of Scotrail services have been cancelled or are running at a reduced service as a result of strike action.
RMT strike action means a significant reduction in services, with many not running altogether.
For key workers, there will be limited bus services for University Hospital Hairmyres, Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline, University Hospital Wishaw and Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy.
Scotrail tweeted: We’re advising customers that most ScotRail services are cancelled today, 2 May, because of strike action by the RMT during the COVID-19 pandemic over calls for a 50% increase in overtime payments for no additional hours worked.
The following services will run this weekend:
Glasgow – Ayr 0900 and every hour until 1900
Ayr – Glasgow 0845 and every hour until 1945
Glasgow – Largs 0940 and every hour until 1940
Largs – Glasgow 0954 and every hour until 1954

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
