Trains will run through the night between Glasgow and Edinburgh for people travelling to pay respects to the Queen.

The Queen’s coffin will lie at rest in St Giles' Cathedral in the capital overnight and until tomorrow afternoon.

Thousands have been queuing since early on Monday morning for a place to file past the coffin.

To accommodate people travelling from Glasgow there will be additional trains.

ScotRail will run an hourly service from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk High in both directions.

Four trains an hour will run on Wednesday between the cities between 10am and 4pm.

An express service will also operate between High Street and Airdrie (and then the normal service east of Airdrie to Edinburgh), with intermediate stations removed from the service.

“Our trains will be busier than normal, particularly to and from Edinburgh, during this period, and we will keep people up to date across our social media channels and on our website.”
