Train services near Glasgow have been suspended after a lorry reportedly crashed into a railway bridge.

Network Rail has been alerted by a member of the public who witnessed the incident near Neilston.

ScotRail has since tweeted that services between Neilston and Cathcart have been suspended as a result. 

Trains from Glasgow Central will run as far as Cathcart, but tickets must then be used on McGill's buses. 

Engineers have been dispatched to check if the bridge is safe. 

 

At 5.20pm, Network Rail confirmed that engineers had deemed the area safe and that the line would reopen.
