Signalling fault causes disruption to ScotRail train services at Edinburgh Waverley station

The fault was first reported by ScotRail about 6pm on Tuesday.

Network Rail said engineers had been deployed to fix the problem at one of Scotland’s busiest rail stations.

The fault had been fixed as of about 6.40pm.

However, ScotRail advised the issue may still cause some knock-on disruption to train times.

The operator posted on social media: “@NetworkRailSCOT have confirmed the fault with the signalling system has now been fixed and we're able to run trains normally again.

“We're working hard to get our trains and crews back into position to run trains on time.”

Network Rail Scotland posted: “Good news from Edinburgh Waverley. The signal fault has been fixed, and all platforms are now available. We're now working to restore normal service as quickly as we can.”
