On Tuesday, fresh calls were made for the Scottish Government to strip ScotRail of its contract to run the franchise, following a string of rail cancellations.
A ScotRail spokesman said: “This has been a challenging time for Scotland’s Railway, but things are improving.
“More trains are arriving on time than ever before, and everyone at the ScotRail Alliance is working flat out to provide customers with the service they deserve.
“Improving the service for our customers is the priority for everyone at ScotRail.
“We are training as many drivers and conductors as possible every day, and this will deliver continual improvements in the coming weeks and months.”
Travellers were quick to take to social media to express their frustration.
