Trains heading in and out of Edinburgh on Saturday have been seen packed full, with no social distancing taking place on board.
A number of complaints have been made on social media after ScotRail services running into the capital were seen to be completely crammed, with all sitting and standing room taken.
On Saturday morning, an image captured the tight scenes on board the 11am service from Perth to Edinburgh, as passengers were forced to stand up against each other.
Although medical exemptions are permitted, a number of people seen in the photo were also captured not wearing a face covering while travelling.
A similar situation was shown on a service running from Livingston North into Haymarket at around 1pm, with a passenger sharing an image of other people almost standing over him due to the lack of space.
Left furious at the lack of safe distancing, the passenger had described the journey as "disgusting", and also commented that only around half of those on board were wearing a mask.
Responding to the complaints, ScotRail stated that all of their available carriages were in to help alleviate the problem, and emphasised their five rules for travel, one of which includes "don't board if you don't feel safe".
The travel operator has also encouraged passengers to avoid travel if they feel unwell and to avoid peak time services if and when possible.
A ScotRail spokesperson said: “We encourage customers across Scotland to plan ahead, and be prepared to have to alter plans if the train they planned to travel on is too busy.”
