Huge queues have been spotted at Glasgow Central station this afternoon as the heatwave continues to wreak havoc for Scots commuters.
Photos taken inside and outside the popular station, which runs services across the country, show customers lining the city centre streets as direct trains between Scotland and London remain affected after unprecedented temperatures caused damage to rail tracks.
Hundreds of families, shoppers and holidaymakers plied with backpacks and heavy luggage can be seen snaking from the ticket barrier inside the building, out toward Gordon Street and down Union Street.
Groups of unimpressed-looking travellers also appear to stand gathered at the entrance to the station, where the taxi rank is located.
All journeys between Scotland London were initially cancelled today, but services now appear to be running from Glasgow Central to London Euston and from Edinburgh Waverley to both Euston and London King's Cross, according to the Trainline website.
Many of the services, however, appear to be delayed.
London North Eastern Railway (LNER) which had previously said that no trains were running on the East Coast Mainline between York and London have also confirmed in the last hour that the line has reopened.
A spokesperson added: "Services are beginning to operate, however due to disruption there will be a reduced service to and from London King's Cross today. We recommend customers to check before they travel."
Network Rail Scotland said it had been a "very challenging 24 hours" as engineers in England worked through the night to restore the power lines damaged between Lancaster and Carnforth, at Harrow in North London, Birmingham New Street and near Wolverhampton.
It's estimated multiple sections of 25,000-volt overhead electric cables have been damaged as a result of the extreme weather forecast.
