Glasgow Central train services will stop early tonight after a weekend of travel chaos for passengers.

ScotRail has announced that rail journeys in and out of the station will "wind down early", with the last departures scheduled for 6.30pm.

Serious damage to overhead wires at the facility led to major disruption for bank holiday revellers in the area last night.

Hundreds of people were left stranded as trains via Glasgow Central were cancelled due to the electrical fault.

Services have been returning to normal today but ScotRail chiefs say they need to halt operations earlier than usual for engineers to fully fix the issue.

The last expected arrivals at Glasgow Central will be around 6pm.

Replacement bus services will be laid on at some routes and trains will be started and terminated from alternative stations.

A ScotRail Alliance spokesman said: "We apologise to anyone affected by the disruption caused by severe damage to the overhead wires at Glasgow Central last night. Our engineers are working as quickly as possible to reopen the line.

"To keep people moving, we've arranged replacement buses and customers with valid train tickets can travel on First Glasgow and McGills bus services along the affected routes.

"Customers can keep up to date with the latest travel info by following us on Twitter @ScotRail, on our mobile app and website. We urge customers to check your journey before you travel as some disruption is likely for the rest of the day."
