PASSENGERS in Glasgow have been hit by cancellations and delays as heavy flooding continues to wreak havoc in the city. 

Train bosses have confirmed a number of routes have been hit by problems as they battle water on the railway. 

This includes services between Queen Street and Lenzie, in East Dunbartonshire, which have been cancelled by ScotRail chiefs due to flooding. Passengers are urged to travel from Springburn instead. 

Trains between Glasgow Central are also facing delays because of flooding on Scotland's west coast. 

Sevices to Largs and Kilmarnock are among those currently disrupted with railway chiefs urging commuters to be careful when getting on or off trains. 

Writing in several updates on Twitter, ScotRail staff said: "It's pouring down out there, folks. Please be careful when getting on and off services as surfaces may be slippy.

"Due to heavy rain flooding the railway between Fairlie and Largs our trains are having to run at reduced speed. Services between Glasgow Central and Largs may be delayed.

"Services are unable to run from Queen St towards Lenzie due to running water over the running line. Where possible, services will operate via Springburn." 

It comes on a day where Glasgow is battered by rain as the city faces a yellow weather warning from Met Office chiefs. 

Forecasters warned earlier today about flooding which is expected to last until tomorrow morning.

They wrote: "Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible. Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer. Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer."
