SCOTRAIL season ticket-holders are being reminded that they can get free travel for the first time this weekend as part of a compensation offer. 

It has been introduced for customers most affected by cancellations caused by the need to ensure drivers and conductors are trained on new routes. 

New timetable changes caused chaos when they started in December. 

Season ticket-holders on affected routes can travel anywhere on ScotRail services, accompanied by one extra person, for six specific weekends, starting on March 23 and ending on May 12.
