Details of #ScotGov owned #ScotRail timetable changes; good to see extra #trains on Sundays on many routes, making #CarFree leisure travel more do-able.

(But when did ScotRail remove the few other operator services from their timetables? Not helpful for full overview of #Inverness + #Aberdeen #InterCity trains and especially not for #EastLothian travellers! #Integration is much more important than hiding other services out of spite and making travel options look worse!)
