A MAJOR gas leak has caused disruption to trains in Clydebank near Singer Station. 

Scotrail announced on Twitter that urgent repairs from SGN Gas will cause trains to divert via Yoker instead. 

The alarm was raised at about 8.30pm at the Clydebank Business Park.

An SGN spokesman said: "Engineers are working to make it safe as we speak."

An updated announcement from Scotrail said they "can't run any trains to Singer, Drumry or Drumchapel for now", and said that bus services would accept travellers' tickets.

The SGN Gas website announced: "We're carrying out emergency repairs to our gas main in Clydebank Business Park near Singer railway station in Glasgow.

"ScotRail services have been affected, so please check @ScotRail on Twitter for updates.

"It's too early to say how long repairs will take to complete, but we'll keep you updated here."

UK Railway Information have tweeted a reminder that "ScotRail customer’s tickets or smart cards are NOT valid on the number 1 FirstBus services".
