“We’re sorry if your journey was affected by this disruption. Our teams worked as quickly as possible to get trains back to normal.”

It continued: “We are now running a near normal service in and out of Glasgow Central, however services on some routes will wind down from this afternoon/early evening to allow for essential repairs to be carried out.

“After that, limited alternative transport will be available.”
