Rail services have resumed after the route through Coatbridge Sunnyside was closed following the incident last Friday. Liam Sumpter, Route Director, Scotlands Railway, said: 'Our team has worked tirelessly to carry out the necessary repairs to the track and signalling system, so that normal service could resume today.
