Trains running to and from one of Scotland’s busiest stations have been hit with delays and cancellations due to a signaling fault.
Scotrail said that “disruption is expected” to services arriving and leaving Glasgow Central Station following the breakdown.
Commuters were warned that problems are expected to persist until 2:30pm, though the fault has now been resolved.
A letter update said: “Following a fault with the signalling system earlier today at Glasgow Central all lines have now reopened.
“Train services running to and from this station may be cancelled or delayed.”

The disruption came as ScotRail’s full timetable was reintroduced from next week, after drivers accepted the latest pay deal.
The nationalised service has been running a temporary timetable since July after drivers refused to work overtime or rest days, as is their contractual right, amid the pay dispute.

The service has relied on extra work, including overtime and working on rest days, from its staff due to a shortage of drivers.
Peak fares have also just been reintroduced on services.
