Emergency services rushed to the scene after a person was struck by a train in Glasgow, bringing rail services to a standstill on Tuesday.
ScotRail confirmed that a number of train services were cancelled as police and ambulance crews responded to the incident. Passengers were left stranded as lines in the affected area were closed to allow emergency services to carry out their work safely.
The incident caused significant disruption across the rail network, with commuters and travellers urged to check journey planners before heading to stations. ScotRail advised passengers to expect delays and cancellations while the situation was dealt with.
British Transport Police attended the scene alongside other emergency services. The force, which is responsible for policing the rail network across Scotland, confirmed officers were in attendance but gave no further details on the condition of the person involved.
Rail disruption of this kind can have a knock-on effect across the wider network, with knock-on delays spreading beyond the immediate area of an incident. Passengers travelling through Glasgow were advised to seek alternative routes where possible.
