A series of rail strikes this week are likely to affect some train services connecting with Western Isles ferries.

Transport union, RMT, is staging industrial action on Sunday and Monday after the reduced use of guards responsible for opening and closing the doors on trains.

Scot Rail say many services already run where the doors are operated by the driver.  The firm said it always schedule a second person onboard trains.

This has the potential to impact connecting train services to Oban, Mallaig and Fort William.

Rail services for Glasgow - Oban and Aberdeen - Inverness are cancelled on Sunday and Monday. Replacement buses will operate.

There will be reduced services from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Inverness on Monday.

The Glasgow Central to Inverness service is cancelled.

Ferry services are unaffected.

Another strike is due to take place on Thursday and at the weekend.
