Trains cancelled and roads closed after Glasgow Central flooded

Parts of Glasgow Central Station have been shut down due to flooding.

On Thursday afternoon, Network Rail confirmed that the lower-level, platforms 16 and 17, are to be closed for the remainder of the day.

Trains are still running on the Argyle Line, calling at Anderston and Argyle Street, but will not call at Glasgow Central low-level.
