Train services to and from Glasgow Central are expected to run as normal after a day of disruption on Thursday due to damaged overhead wires.
However, services on the Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street line were disrupted on Friday morning following a signalling issue.
Network Rail Scotland said on Friday that all repairs to the wires at Glasgow Central are now complete.
The company had said on Thursday evening that engineers would work through the night to complete the work.
There was significant disruption to high-level services at the station on November 20 after sections of overhead wires were damaged early in the morning.
✅ All repairs to the damaged overhead wires at Glasgow Central are complete and a full service will operate this morning.
Thank you again for your patience yesterday, we’re sorry for the disruption.@ScotRail @AvantiWestCoast @TPExpressTrains @CalSleeper https://t.co/CyFcr1XMMq

The majority of platforms had reopened by late afternoon and services are expected to run normally on Friday.
Network Rail Scotland posted on social media: “All repairs to the damaged overhead wires at Glasgow Central are complete and a full service will operate this morning.
“Thank you again for your patience yesterday, we’re sorry for the disruption.”
An investigation is under way to establish what caused the damage.
Elsewhere, a signalling fault in the Newbridge area near Edinburgh led to disruption on the Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street main line and also affected services to Dunblane.
ScotRail warned that some services may be disrupted.
In a social media post just before 8am Network Rail Scotland said: “We’ve identified the fault and made temporary repairs to allow Edinburgh to Glasgow Queen St/Dunblane services to run.
“Engineers will stand by and replace the faulty part after the morning peak.
“We’re working closely with @ScotRail to manage train services in the area.”
The disruption comes amid wintry conditions after a night of sub-zero temperatures in many parts of the country.
ScotRail advised passengers to take extra care, saying: “Due to the cold weather conditions, please take extra care when you’re out and about.
“Platforms can become icy. Please also be extra vigilant when boarding and alighting train services.”
