Heavy Rain Lashes Central Belt

Heavy rain and gales have caused travel disruption across the central belt today.

High winds have seen the Forth Road Bridge closed to double-decker buses and it currently has speed restrictions.

Earlier traffic was queuing on the M8 because of flooding at junction 19 (Anderston Cross).

Trains between Glasgow and East Kilbride are disrupted by flooding at Thornliebank station and trains through Bishopton are also affected, ScotRail said.
