Glasgow landslip causes week-long rail disruption [BBC News]

Date: 04/04/2017

ScotRail is warning that a landslip in Glasgow will lead to week-long disruption on some rail services.
It follows the partial collapse of a railway embankment between Ashfield and Gilshochill.
The rail operator said tonnes of mud and stone had washed onto the track at Lambhill, weakening a footbridge over the track.
Services from Glasgow Queen Street to Anniesland and Crianlarich have been cancelled for seven days as a result.
