Network Rail said: "The fault with the signalling system between Croy and Larbert has been fixed, allowing the service between Glasgow Queen Street and Stirling/Edinburgh to start returning to normal.

"Trains may still be delayed by 45 minutes, cancelled or diverted via an alternative route, not calling at some stations between Glasgow and Stirling/Edinburgh.

"This is affecting journeys via both Croy and Cumbernauld.
