Dozens of trains have been cancelled on two major Glasgow railway lines.
Commuters are facing a difficult evening after rail bosses confirmed engineers are carrying out a safety inspection on the track between Partick, Charing Cross and Exhibition Centre.
It has caused multiple trains to be cancelled between Glasgow Queen Street/Glasgow Central and Partick.
The line connects commuters to Balloch, Helensburgh Central and Dalmiur via Anniesland, Milngavie and Yoker.
It is not yet known when trains will resume normal service, but ScotRail says the line will be disrupted until the inspection has been carried out.

ScotRail have confirmed they are unable to provide bus replacements for displaced customers, and advised those affected should consider making their own alternative arrangements.
Tickets are currently being accepted on the subway service between Partick and Buchanan Street/St Enoch.
All Airdrie to Balloch services have been cancelled until at least 6.30pm, with Balloch to Airdrie services terminating at Anniesland.

Services between Dalmuir and Whifflet will either be cancelled or start/terminate at Anderston.
Services between Dumbarton Central and Springburn have all been cancelled.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
