ScotRail services are disrupted (Image: ScotRail)
UPDATE: ScotRail has now confirmed that the objects have been removed and services are "returning to normal".
A balloon has disrupted Glasgow train services this afternoon.
Services at Glasgow Queen Street have been affected by the item which has been caught on the overhead wires.
While engineers have been called to the site, high level trains running to and from the station are likely to be affected until the balloon has been removed.
NEW: We have had a report of a balloon being caught on the overhead wires just outside Glasgow Queen St. Engineers have been dispatched but until this has been removed services running to/from the station are likely to be affected. pic.twitter.com/6Cbn4flDhg

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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
