Lorry flips after striking rail bridge in Glasgow cancelling train services

Trains were cancelled on a Glasgow line earlier today after a lorry struck a bridge.

ScotRail customers were warned that services between Glasgow Central and Neilston were not running after the vehicle hit a bridge between Muirend and Kingspark.

The artic lorry overturned after striking the structure causing delays on the road and on the track.

The bridge was closed for several hours to allow engineers to examine the structure to make sure it was safe.

Network Rail tweeted: "A large vehicle has struck a bridge between Muirend and Kings Park. We've closed the line between Glasgow Central and Neilston until we can be sure the bridge is safe for trains to cross."

The bridge has now been reopened, but customers have been warned there could still be delays.

A tweet from ScotRail said: "UPDATE: The bridge has been inspected and it’s safe for us to resume services. Train services may still be subject to delay, revision or cancellation as we focus on getting trains/crew back into position."
