Fallen trees, debris and damage to overhead lines has affected the return of train services to and from Glasgow today following high winds last night.

For safety reasons, Network Rail took the decision to suspend all services last night from 7pm. Network Rail says: "Before trains can run today, a full line inspection and the repairing of any damage found must be carried out. While trains are unable to run on most routes, we are beginning to reinstate some services."
