In terms of Scotrail on my local route (Motherwell/Larkhall-Dalmuir/Milngavie) there are some noticable changes:
Monday-Saturday:
All Hamilton Circle services now run to Dalmuir only:
Westbound:
Previously the 2Fxx Motherwell/Cumbernauld to Dalmuir ran via Yoker, it now runs via Singer.
The 2Lxx Larkhall-Milngavie service no longer runs to Milngavie, instead Dalmuir via Yoker.
The 2Sxx Whifflet line trains still go to Dalmuir but run via Yoker instead of via Singer.
I don't get why the 2Fxx services from Cumbernauld/Motherwell westbound go via Singer when they previously went via Yoker anyway, the 2Lxx Larkhall trains should go via Singer imo.
The 2Vxx Springburn-Dumbarton Central service runs to Milngavie instead, basically replacing the trains from Larkhall to Milngavie. This means that Bearsden/Hillfoot/Milngavie can only be served by trains via Queen Street. It also means that Kilpatrick/Bowling which were normally served by these Springburn trains only, are now part of the Airdrie-Balloch route.
Eastbound:
2Cxx Milngavie-Motherwell/Cumbernauld starts from Dalmuir instead, running via Yoker. it is in the path of the old Dalmuir-WhiffletLine service as far as Rutherglen. Main departing times at Glasgow Central being xx.27, xx.57 or thereabouts
2Lxx Dalmuir-Larkhall is the same as before, running via Singer.
2Rxx Dalmuir-WhiffletLine still runs via Yoker but from Hyndland onwards it is in the path of the old Milngavie-Motherwell service, with the main departing times at Glasgow Central being xx.04, xx.34 or thereabouts.
However during the evening/night time after 20:00. Milngavie-Motherwell/Cumbernauld operates again, using the units off the Springburn services. Larkhall-Milngavie runs again too.
There is also one train which does Milngavie-Motherwell via Carmyle and the whifflet line which normally never happened:
Realtime Trains - 2R22 2008 Milngavie to Motherwell
Realtime Trains provides live realtime running information for the Great British railway network using open data.www.realtimetrains.co.uk
Also there are no Friday night extra services stilll.
When I have more time I will have a look into the services more fully but that is what I can see from RTT.
Looks like Scotrail may be keeping largely to a COVID timetable, one other thing I've noticed is that Ayr is staying 2tph with Lanark remaining hourly.
