News in brief: National Theatre visits Cove, charging points at Helensburgh station

The National Theatre of Scotland is visiting Cove Burgh Hall next month, staging The 306: Day.

The second part of Oliver Emanuel and Gareth Williams’ powerful new First World War trilogy, this charts the heart-breaking journey of the 306 men executed for cowardice and desertion during the conflict and the devastating consequences for those they left behind.

Inspired by real events and first-hand accounts, The 306: Day follows the lives of three ordinary women fighting to be heard above the clamour of World War 1.

The date is 1917, and the war across the channel rages on. In Russia, a revolution is turning the social order on its head while at home in Britain, there are women fighting their own battles. Rents are rising. Food is scarce. And war work can be deadly.

Tickets are £12 and available via the usual outlets and the hall website – the play is at 8pm.

An electric car charging point will be installed at Helensburgh Central station later this year.

Free to use charging points, which can charge two cars at once, will also be installed at 49 other stations by the ScotRail Alliance is leading a drive to improve the availability of electric car charging points in stations.

Construction work to install the first charger will begin in September, with all 100 spaces available from November this year.
