TRAIN services will be disrupted next month as works are due to take place across the country.

Passengers hoping to travel from Edinburgh to Aberdeen/Inverness and Edinburgh to Dundee/Fife will face diversions and cancellations during most weekend days in March.

Bus replacement services will be available between stations where trains are not running.

The works begin on Sunday, March 1 when Edinburgh to Aberdeen/Inverness trains will be diverted via Stirling to enable work on the tracks between Haymarket and Dalmeny.
