Trains are being cancelled or delayed after Edinburgh’s Waverley station suffered a power cut.
Services to and from the capital’s main station were halted at around 4.30pm on Thursday afternoon.
Engineers attended following a major signalling outage at the station.
Disruption is expected to continue on Friday due to trains being out of position.
One passenger told The Courier on Thursday they did not know how they were going to get back home and were looking at alternative means.
After the outage, a ScotRail spokesperson said: “Due to a failure of the electricity supply at Edinburgh, our services will be subject to delay and alteration at this time.
On social media, Network Rail said: “We’re responding to a loss of power to the electricity supply in the Edinburgh area.
“Investigations are underway and we will provide a further update as soon as possible.
“Please check with your service provider for journey updates.”
They added: “We suspect that this has been caused by a Telecomms fault and a specialist engineer has been dispatched.
“They are expected to arrive at the fault location at around 7pm and will begin fault finding.”
Train disruption continues after Edinburgh power loss
Network Rail issued an update on Friday morning.
Posting on X, it said: “Trains can run to and from Edinburgh Waverley again this morning, following last night’s signalling failure.
“Disruption is likely to continue for several hours though, as we work with operators to get their trains and crews back into position.”
ScotRail has urged passengers to check their journey before travelling.
