Trains on a busy line from Glasgow Central to Kilmarnock will be replaced by buses for the entirety of July, ScotRail has announced.
From Saturday, June 24, to Thursday, August 3, 2023 there will be no trains operating on the route, which passes through several locations on the Southside of Glasgow as well as Barrhead, Dunlop, Kilmaurs and Stewarton.
For over a month services on the route will be replaced by buses as Network Rail carries out engineering work.
ScotRail announced: "Engineering work is taking place at East Kilbride / Barrhead, closing all lines all day, every day.
"Trains between Glasgow Central and Kilmarnock will not run. Stations between Pollokshaws West and Kilmarnock will not be served by any train services.

"Crossmyloof and Pollokshaws West will be served by train services between Glasgow Central and East Kilbride.
"Kilmarnock will be served by services to / from Ayr / Dumfries / Carlisle."
From Monday to Saturday during the affected period there will be two replacement buses per hour between Glasgow Central and Kilmarnock.
That will be reduced to an hourly service on a Saturday.
Between Sunday June 25 and Sunday July 2 buses will replace trains between Glasgow Central and Dumfries, rather than Kilmarnock, as a result of additional engineering work.
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
