Extensive flooding has led to delays on trains running between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh.
ScotRail confirmed heavy rain has led to part of the railway being flooded at Winchburgh in West Lothian between Linlithgow and Edinburgh, meaning services have been disrupted - many passengers are currently stuck on trains in the area. Torrential rain has also flooded the track at Inverkeithing.
One passenger tweeted:
"Omg oor train driver just told us we're stuck because the line ahead n behind is flooded, meanwhile there's debris floating down the tracks"
Trains between Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street via Cumbernauld and Falkirk Grahamston will be suspended, and it is not clear how long the disruption will last.
A ScotRail tweet read: "Heavy rain has flooded the railway at Winchburgh, between Linlithgow & Edinburgh. The line has been closed. This affects our Edinburgh – Glasgow Queen Street High Level and Edinburgh – Dunblane services. Staff are on site now monitoring the flooding."
Replacement transport has yet to be found, however trains are currently running between Edinburgh and Glasgow Central Station.
