A runaway trampoline caused chaos on the railways after finding its way out of a garden in the west of Scotland amid high winds.
The apparatus came to rest beside the rails near Hillington, between Glasgow city centre and Paisley, earlier today, causing services to be delayed while railway workers removed it from the trackside. Train services in the area have also been affected by a tree that fell onto overhead power lines at around 9.30am and a broken rail inside a tunnel further west, near Bishopton.
While the trampoline has been removed, efforts to extract the tree from the wires and replace the rail is ongoing. Travellers on services heading out to Ayrshire can use their train tickets on McGills buses while Scotrail arranges rail replacement buses.
