COMMUTERS in and around Glasgow are facing disruption on Monday morning as dozens of train services have been cancelled due to a fault.

A tweet posted by the company read: "Due to a major fault with the communication system between drivers and signallers, services have been severely affected.
"We strongly advise customers check to see if their journey is being affected before heading to the station and recommend making alternative arrangements if you possibly can.
"We’re unable to run any services on the Argyle or North Clyde routes (see earlier tweets) and do not have a timescale for when services can resume. This is a major fault.
"We ask that you make your own arrangements if you can and apologise for the disruption."
