A “points failure” on the Glasgow subway system suspended both circles on Monday morning before one station was closed.

Passengers were advised of a delay to the lines opening at around 6.30am due to a points failure at the Subway yard.

Services were unable to run in the early morning with teams working to fix the issue which was resolved after 7am.

A further update from operator SPT confirmed Hillhead station in the city’s West End was closed due to a power failure.

A customer notice on X read: “Apologies all, Hillhead Station is currently closed due to a power failure.

“Nearest station is Kelvinhall.”
