ScotRail Head of Customer Operations Phil Campbell said:
“Park & ride facilities, like the one at Johnstone, have proven vital in helping the local transport network grow.
“The work being carried out will benefit customers in the long term by ensuring a high standard of access to the station.
“However, while this work takes place, we appreciate that some adjustment to travel plans may be required. We are encouraging people to consider whether they could use alternative stations, get dropped off instead of driving themselves, cycle or catch a bus to the station.”
