Road and rail issues for East Kilbride commuters this morning

Road users are being urged to travel with care this morning as the wintry conditions continue.

The Central Belt continues to be hit with with snow and sleet showers making for difficult driving conditions.

Close to freezing temperatures and surface moisture are making the A726, M77, M74 and M8 carriageways greasy.

Most routes are currently operating with reduced traffic as a result of the school holidays, with no major incidents.

However, Traffic Scotland are reporting queuing on the M74, M77 and M8.

Meanwhile maintenance issues are causing disruption on the East Kilbride rail line this morning.

ScotRail are reporting of the early morning issue which will impact on the service.

That means trains may be delayed and services usually serviced by six carriages will be served by four.

Those serviced by four will also be serviced by just two carriages. During the busy commuters hours, passengers may struggle to get a seat.

To stay up to date on this, head to scotrail.co.uk or use their app.

The Met Office are warning of a high of seven degreees celsius from 4pm - 6pm, with temperatures struggling to get about five for the rest of the day.
