Trains between Glasgow and London have been disrupted by damage to overhead electric lines caused by a fallen tree in southern Scotland.

Avanti West Coast said all lines were blocked between Lockerbie and Carstairs and services would be affected until 14:00. Some services scheduled to start in Glasgow now starting in Preston, Lancashire, and experiencing delays of several hours.

Network Rail Scotland said work to repair the lines damaged by the fallen tree near Beattock was “well under way” and they were on target to reopen the line at about 11:30.

Passengers waiting overnight on the Caledonian Sleeper service were told in the early hours of the morning that they had still not left Glasgow Central because a tree had come down on the line.

A statement from Avanti West Coast said: “Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between Lockerbie and Carstairs, all lines are blocked.

“Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Please check your journey.”
