A burst main is affecting water supply in Cumbernauld and commuters have been warned train services could also be affected.

Network Rail and Scotrail said delays and cancellations are possible.

Train tracks between Cumbernauld and Camelon stations are flooded.

A spokesman for Scottish Water said: “A burst water main has been located at Forest Road in Cumbernauld.

“Customers here may experience loss of water supply, low pressure, and discoloured water.

“A squad will be on site shortly to carry out the necessary repairs and will restore supplies as soon as possible.”

Network Rail’s Twitter account posted: “Scottish Water confirms they have a burst pipe which is discharging water onto railway between Camelon and Cumbernauld.

“We'll continue to monitor water level and will work with Scotrail to manage services through area. Some delays/cancellations possible.”

Scotrail tweeted: “Due to a burst water main causing flooding between Camelon and Cumbernauld, trains through these stations may be delayed/altered.

“Network Rail and Scottish Water on site investigating. We’re expecting disruption until at least 9.30am. Further updates soon.”

Meanwhile, bottled water is being made available to customers in parts of Cumbernauld who are affected by a burst water main.

Some customers in parts of Cumbernauld are experiencing a loss of normal water supply, low water pressure or discoloured water due to a burst on a 30 inch water main in Forrest Road, Abronhill.

While engineers work to restore supplies to affected properties, Scottish Water is doing all it can to minimise inconvenience to customers and is making bottled water available at a collection point at the premises of Polygon UK, Cumbernauld Business Park, Wardpark Road, Cumbernauld G67 3JZ.

Scottish Water is stressing that this bottled water is intended only for customers whose normal water supplies are affected and is urging those whose supplies are not affected not to take bottled water.

Meanwhile, engineers are continuing their work to restore normal supplies to affected properties in the G67 postcode area as quickly as possible.

They are doing so by using backfeeds to introduce water supplies from other parts of the network while the repair work is under way.

The burst has caused some localised disruption, including the closure of Forrest Road, and is affecting services on the Cumbernauld railway line.

Scottish Water apologises for the inconvenience to affected customers and can assure them we are doing everything we can to restore normal supplies as quickly as possible and to minimise any inconvenience. We thank affected customers for their patience and understanding.
