Engineers are still working to remove a car that crashed onto the tracks at Stirling train station earlier today.
The driver of the black Renault somehow managed to end up leaving their vehicle sitting across the tracks on the busy railway line at around 12.17pm on Wednesday. Thankfully nobody was seriously injured.
However because of power lines, getting the vehicle off the tracks is a time-consuming job due to safety concerns.
Services between Glasgow Queen Street and Alloa have temporarily been suspended while trains going from Edinburgh to Dunblane will terminate and start back further down the line at Camelon.
ScotRail said that replacement transport is now operating between Stirling and Falkirk Grahamston, calling at Larbert.
The rail operator tweeted: “Network Rail are working to remove this car from the railway as soon as possible.
“To do this safely, they need to turn off the power to the overhead wires through the station.
“Our Inter7City services are unaffected.”
British Transport Police confirmed that no one has been arrested following the bizarre incident.
They said: “We were called to Stirling station at 12.17pm this afternoon following reports of a car on the tracks.
“Thankfully no one was seriously injured. There have been no arrests.
“Officers remain on scene working to establish the full circumstances behind the incident.”
