Passengers travelling through Glasgow Queen Street Low Level have suffered major disruption today after overhead wires at a city centre station were damaged.
Engineers were called out to the tunnel between High Street and Queen Street this morning, and they are still on site six hours later.
The damage means services cannot run between Partick and Bellgrove, causing trains between Edinburgh and Helensburgh Central to terminate and start back from Bellgrove.
In the west of the city, services between Helensburgh Central and Edinburgh are terminating and starting again from Anniesland.
NEW: @NetworkRailScot report that overhead wires are damaged in the tunnel between Glasgow Queen Street & High Street station. This means trains can’t run between Partick & Bellgrove.
