GLASGOW train services may face disruption this morning following a major police incident on Monday.
Police discovered a "suspect item" while searching a property at a high-rise flat block on Overtoun Court in the Dalmuir area of Clydebank on Monday, October 28.
Officers were carrying out the search as part of an ongoing investigation. After making the discovery, police alerted the bomb disposal team who then raced to the area.
Several residents have been evacuated and people are still being urged to avoid the area.
The rail firm also said the incident caused 'severe disruption' to all services via Partick and Hyndland in Glasgow's West End.
Following the incident, ScotRail has now said all lines have reopened this morning (Tuesday, October 29).

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!
