BTP said the tragic incident is not being treated as suspicious.

Scotrail passengers affected by the cancellations were advised to show their rail tickets on McGills bus services instead.

Just before 9am a representative from the rail firm confirmed that all lines were reopened, but delays were still expected while they work to put 'trains and crew back in position'.

A BTP spokeswoman told the Record: "Officers were called to Hillington East station at 6.08am this morning following reports of a casualty on the tracks.

"Paramedics also attended, and sadly a man was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
