Part of a ScotRail train fell off and hit signalling cables today near Glasgow Central causing around 100 cancellations. The highly unusual incident involved a prop shaft dropping from a class 156 diesel train near Shields junction on the Glasgow-Paisley line in Pollokshields just after 6am.

The meeting started on the evening of the 19th to discuss ScotRail matters and continued on the 20th. On the 19th a number of members of the public expressed their dis-satisfaction with services on the Glasgow to Ayr line which mostly refered to train capacity and difficulties during the introduction of the class 334s. On the 20th Railtrack announced re-signalling of the Forth Bridge to allow two trains on the bridge at the one time in the same direction and electrifcation of the 'Burma' road which runs from Shields Junction to Larkfield Junction.
