No entry Trains leaving Paisley Gilmour Street and going east won't reach Glasgow Central

Customers face further disruption as rail chiefs inspect the historic station following Sunday evening's blaze which took place right on its doorstep on Union Street in the city.

The station opened again to low-level services yesterday but high-level services - which affects Paisley Gilmour Street and stations across Renfrewshire - are not running.

ScotRail says it will run services between Paisley and Gourock/Wemyss Bay and Ayr where possible.

This is also the plan for journeys between Barrhead and Kilmarnock then on to Dumfriesshire and across the border into Carlisle.

However, it's unclear when trains into the heart of the city will run again.

Bus firms are attempting to meet demand with roads into Glasgow notably busier.

While the station itself is thought to have escaped major damage, the impact of the firefighting efforts and the intense heat of the blaze is likely to require assessment.
