Delays to services between Motherwell and Dalmuir

Following the fire brigade dealing with an incident near the railway earlier today between Hyndland and Dalmuir the line is now open. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Train services between Motherwell and Dalmuir will be delayed.

We had a fire near the railway in the Yoker area on Tuesday 5th May which has destroyed a signalling cabinet, this means we have had to alter the following services on Wednesday 6th May -

* Services to/from Helensburgh will be diverted via Singer and this should only result in platform changes at Dalmuir so please check the Information Screens at Dalmuir to ensure you are on the correct platform for your train.

* Our Springburn - Dumbarton Central trains will only run between Springburn and Garscadden (calling stations) in both directions.

* Delays will occur on our Motherwell to Dalmuir & Dalmuir to Whifflet train services.

* Balloch - Airdrie trains will call additionally at Bowling and Kilpatrick in both directions.

The following early morning services alterations are in place -

* 0648 & 0816 Dalmuir to Larkhall will start from Hyndland

* 0737 Balloch to Airdrie will start from Hyndland

* 0726 Helensburgh to Edinburgh will start from Hyndland

* 0751 Dumbarton Central to Springburn will start from Garscadden

* 0616 Airdrie to Dumbarton Central will terminate at Hyndland

* 0644 & 0744 Motherwell to Dalmuir will terminate at Garscadden

Our staff continue to work to replace the signalling equipment to allow us to operate our trains as normal and as soon as we have an estimate for repairs to be complete we will let you know.

* If you are a key worker please use the help point for further information

* If your journey is not essential defer travel until further notice.

**What's On Today**

Fuck all. Stay at home.

**Today in Scottish History**

Today in 1999 saw the election of the first Scottish Parliament since 1707.
Elections were held for the Scottish Parliament and the 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament - MSPs - took their seats on 12 May 1999. State of the parties: Labour 56; Scottish National Party 35; Conservatives 18; Liberal Democrats 16; Greens 1; Scottish Socialist Party 1; Independent 1.

Today in 1870 Sir James Simpson, Scottish physician, died. A pioneer of obstetrics, gynaecology, and childbirth anaesthetics, he was the first British physician to use chloroform and ether as anaesthetics during childbirth. He provoked much controversy at the time because many believed the pain of childbirth had been decreed by God as the curse of Eve. His victory was assured when, as personal surgeon to Queen Victoria, he used anaesthetic during the delivery of her seventh child.
