Services resume on Glasgow to London train line

Train services between Glasgow and London resumed after a tree fell on overhead lines, disrupting travel for hours. Network Rail completed repairs near Beattock in Dumfries and Galloway, yet delays may persist until 19:00 for some routes. Avanti West Coast confirmed the reopening of lines between Lockerbie and Carstairs, restoring normal operations. Passengers faced significant delays, with some services departing from Preston instead of Glasgow. A signalling fault further complicated travel, impacting routes to Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Airport.

Passengers on the Caledonian Sleeper service were stranded overnight due to the fallen tree. Ticket holders can travel on alternative services or receive refunds for delays over 15 minutes. Gale-force winds of up to 55 mph contributed to the incidents, prompting warnings from weather officials.
