Edinburgh-Glasgow rush hour trains hit by cuts to carriages

Rail passengers on the Glasgow-Edinburgh rail route are racing rush-hour overcrowding as ScotRail announced it will cut the number of carriages on some trains.

Trains on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow line, via Falkirk High, will be affected as a result of some class 170 diesel trains reaching the end of their lease period.

The new electric trains that would have stepped in to prevent the shortage have been hit by delays.
