1 week agoFire near Glasgow Central station causes major rail disruption
A fire near Glasgow Central station caused major train disruption, closing the station and cancelling dozens of trains on Sunday evening.
There are minor delays on the Piccadilly line due to train cancellations. Elsewhere, there is no service between East Croydon and Beckenham Junction, Elmers End or New Addington. Replacement buses are running but will not serve Lebanon Road.
Via Rail says recent train cancellations along its Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor were in response to "heightened operational pressure." A number of trains between Toronto and Ottawa, Ottawa and Montreal, and Montreal and Ottawa were cancelled "end-to-end" Monday due to what Via Rail's live tracker called "operational constraints." Pressed for details, the federal Crown corporation declined to be interviewed but said via email that the cancellations are a short-term measure meant to "protect service reliability" during what's expected to be a challenging time.
