COMMUTERS in and around Glasgow are facing disruption after a signal fault hit rush hour journeys.

Problems between Drumry and Hyndland are affecting trains travelling through Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street low levels.

At least 13 replacement buses were in operation with First Bus accepting rail tickets for journeys on affected routes.

It comes as tens of thousands of rail passengers endured travel chaos over the Bank Holiday weekend after an electrical fault caused hundreds of trains to be cancelled or delayed across the west of Scotland.

The disruption comes as figures show ScotRail has been hit with record fines for failing to meet required standards for running the country’s trains and stations.

The latest fault was reported by ScotRail just  before 4pm and the disruption could last until 8pm.

ScotRail is advising passengers to check their journeys and alternative travel options as engineers work to repair the fault.

Major commuting routes are affected by the fault, including journeys between Helensburgh Central and Edinburgh .
