Passengers travelling from Glasgow to London have encountered significant delays and long queues at Glasgow Central Station due to train cancellations and disruptions. Reports indicate that queues have extended beyond the station, causing frustration and inconvenience for many stranded Londoners.

Yesterday, Storm Gerrit caused widespread disruption throughout the country, resulting in the cancellation and delay of numerous railway services due to adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain and high winds.

One of the affected services is the Avanti West Coast train from Glasgow Central to London Euston, scheduled to depart at 5:30pm but ultimately cancelled. The operator cited “major disruption between London Euston / Clapham Junction and Watford Junction,” which is anticipated to last for the remainder of the day.

Additionally, there were delays on trains between London Paddington and Reading earlier today, following a tragic incident in which an individual was fatally struck by a train shortly after 7am.

For the most up-to-date travel information, individuals are advised to visit the National Rail website.
