A major update has been issued this morning after Glasgow Central Low Level was closed yesterday due to flooding.

The flooding was caused by a burst pipe, which affected platforms 16 and 17 of the city centre station.

As a result, trains bypassed Glasgow Central Low Level while other services continued to run on the Argyle Line and called at all other stations. ScotRail urged passengers to use Argyle Street as an alternative.

ScotRail revealed this morning that the station has now fully re-opened after crews worked through the night to fix the broken water pipe.

However, the lifts will be out of use, so anyone requiring assistance is being asked to speak to station staff.

Taking to X to announce the news, ScotRail wrote: "Following on from the broken water pipe at Glasgow Central low level yesterday, staff have worked together through the night to allow for the station to open today.

"Lifts will be out of use this morning. Please speak with station staff if assistance is required. Thank you."
