Lengthy delays for rail commuters

Commuters are facing lengthy delays on the trains after a possible fault has been discovered on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen line.

ScotRail has said the disruption is to continue until 9pm because of a safety inspection of the track between Arbroath and Montrose.

At 5.15pm ScotRail said engineers were at the scene inspecting a “suspected track defect”.

Buses have been requested for Dundee, Aberdeen, Stonehaven, Arbroath and Montrose.
