An uncooperative swan caused commuter chaos this morning as ScotRail staff struggled to remove it from train lines between Dalmuir and Clydebank.

The swan was spotted on the line in the Dalmuir area at around 5:45 this morning.

Although Scotrail staff were quick to attend the scene, the troublesome bird was not successfully removed until 7:55 am. 

 

 

Train services to Dalmuir to Hyndland via Yoker were briefly closed between 6:43am and 7:12am causing disruption to hundreds of early morning commuters.

All lines were finally re-opened at 7:55 with the swan safely moved.

ScotRail says members of the public should continue to expect delays and revisions to the service as drivers and trains try to return to their planned schedule.

A member of Scotrail staff said: "We're working hard to get trains and crew back to schedule but there may be some delays/cancellations while we do this.

"Thanks for your patience."
