Strike action to affect trains next Monday and Tuesday
Proposed UK wide strike action next Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th will see severe disruption to services, should you be planning to visit any archives or libraries for your research.
Here in Scotland, very few services will likely be running, but for those that will, a dedicated timetable page has been established at http://www.scotrail.co.uk/plan-your-journey/uk-wide-rail-strike-plan-your-journey.
It is of course possible that the strike may be averted before then, but forewarned and all that...!
UPDATE 21 MAY - the strike has been called off!
