More Glasgow trains are being disrupted for a third day due to an ongoing incident.
We previously reported that services had been suspended between Glasgow Central and Newton due to a broken-down train.
This was caused by a fault with the overhead lines at Kirkhill station in Cambuslang.
The issue first arose on the morning of Tuesday, August 27 and ScotRail introduced bus replacement services.

Network Rail teams have been on site to try to fix the problem.
We then reported that the issue was 'reoccurring' on Wednesday, August 28 and more bus replacements were brought in.

Some services are expected to be cancelled, delayed or revised.
Replacement buses will run from Newton at 0700 to Mount Florida and from Mount Florida at 0645 running to Newton.
