The Edinburgh-Oban trains will now run on ten Sundays from June 26 to August 28.

Graeme Macfarlan, ScotRail's marketing manager, said: "The trial proved its worth in 2010 and we are delighted it is being extended to ten weekends."

David Adams McGilp, Visit-Scotland's regional director in Argyll and Bute, added: "We are delighted that there will be more trains to and from Oban."
