TRAIN passengers are facing disruption after a bus crashed on to a railway line.
The incident happened at Galashiels station in the Borders at around 8.30pm on Sunday.
One person was checked over by an ambulance crew at the scene but did not need to go to hospital.
The bus was not carrying any passengers at the time.
The railway line was closed following the incident but had re-opened by Monday morning.
However, some services were disrupted as trains were out of position.
ScotRail tweeted: "The line between Galashiels & Tweedbank is open again, however, the incident has prevented us from getting some trains to Tweedbank for the start of service this morning."
Replacement bus services were put in place.
Police said investigations into the incident were continuing.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
