National Rail advised some trains may also be cancelled and the disruption is expected to last until 2pm today. Passengers are advised to check their journeys using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.

The signalling fault is understood to have been fixed but ScotRail warned ‘services will continue to be subject to delays and cancellations due to crew and trains being out of place’.
