The 17:16 Edinburgh to Kirkcaldy train is supposed to have five carriages, during the crucial evening journey back from the capital.
However, ScotRail says the train will now only have two carriages, which is attributed to a “train fault”.

Also, the 17:39 Edinburgh service stopping in Kirkcaldy will only have three coaches instead of four, due to “maintenance requirements”.
As the evening goes on, also down from three carriages to two are the 18:01 Edinburgh to Dundee, and the 18:13 Edinburgh to Glenrothes With Thornton.
ScotRail says the shortage is a continuation of the issues faced around late delivery of the new and upgraded trains.
