\n The railway company apologised after services on the East Kilbride to Glasgow Central line were disrupted on Friday, January 9, following the incident.\n<\/p>\n
\n It is understood the train which was scheduled to run on the line was stationed at an unidentified Glasgow depot when a perpetrator trespassed on the tracks to commit the act.\n<\/p>\n
\n Subsequently the 7.47am service to East Kilbride and the 8.28am service to Glasgow Central were cancelled.\n<\/p>\n
\n The line passes through Busby, Clarkston, Giffnock and Thornliebank.\n<\/p>\n

\n Passengers were notified of the incident on the station displays on the line and via the ScotRail app.\n<\/p>\n
\n The British Transport Police say they have been notified of the vandalism and have launched an investigation.\n<\/p>\n
\n Meanwhile, ScotRail bosses say they will continue to work with partners to “clamp down” on unacceptable behaviour.\n<\/p>\n
\n Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said: \u201cWe\u2019re sorry to customers who experienced disruption to their journey as a result of this incident.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cVandalism of any kind has no place on Scotland\u2019s Railway. Incidents of\u00a0graffiti\u00a0take up valuable cleaning time unnecessarily and those committing it put themselves at risk by trespassing on the railway.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe continue to work with British Transport Police to clamp down on unacceptable behaviour and would ask our customers to contact BTP if they see anything suspicious.\u201d\u202f\n<\/p>\n
\n A British Transport Police spokesperson said: “Officers are investigating a report of graffiti to a train at a depot in Glasgow overnight from Thursday 8 January to Friday 9 January.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 405040 quoting reference 150 of 9 January.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The railway company apologised after services on the East Kilbride to Glasgow Central line were disrupted on Friday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":684634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-684633","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115865581568178960","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
