A broken-down vehicle on the M77, a train fault on the Neilston line and a one-vehicle motorway crash caused widespread disruption in Glasgow.

Three separate incidents caused travel disruption across Glasgow on Monday morning. The M77 motorway northbound was partially blocked after Junction 1 at Dumbreck Road due to a broken-down vehicle, with drivers facing delays of around 33 minutes and heavy traffic queuing from Junction 4. Road users were urged to allow extra time for journeys and consider alternative routes.

On the rail network, a fault developed on the Neilston line between Whitecraigs and Neilston shortly before 7am. ScotRail warned that services between Glasgow Central and Neilston may be cancelled, delayed or revised while the issue was dealt with. Passengers were advised to check before travelling and allow extra time for their journeys, with no estimate given for when normal service would resume.

Emergency services also attended a one-vehicle road traffic collision on the M8 at Junction 15 near the slip road for Springburn Road at 9.14am. The Scottish Ambulance Service confirmed that an ambulance arrived at the scene at 9.15am but that no patients required transportation to hospital.
