Glasgow trains: Major disruption to Glasgow Central train services due to overhead wire damage
Network Rail said engineers were working on repairs
Passengers travelling from Glasgow Central are facing disruption for the rest of the day after overhead electric wires were damaged.
Network Rail said engineers were working on repairs, with crews cutting away the damaged overhead wires from the train involved at the station.
The rail network operator warned that with access to several platforms restricted, Glasgow Central high-level services would be disrupted throughout Thursday.
Engineers are also dealing with overhead wire damage at Glengarnock in North Ayrshire, which is affecting trains travelling between Glasgow Central and Ardrossan/Ayr/Largs.
ScotRail apologised for any disruption.
Customer operations director Phil Campbell said: “We’re sorry to customers who have experienced disruption to their journey today as a result of this incident and we share their frustration when these things happen.
“Network Rail engineers are working hard to repair damage to the overhead wires. Anyone delayed by 30 minutes or more can claim compensation through the Delay Repay Guarantee on the ScotRail website or app.”
Network Rail said trains via Glasgow Central low-level were not affected by the disruption and advised people to consider using those services if possible.
