Trains across Tayside and Fife have been cancelled and delayed due to a signalling fault on the line.

ScotRail say “fewer trains are able to run on all lines” with journeys between Edinburgh and Fife, Dundee, Perth, Aberdeen and Inverness “delayed or revised” as a result.
Disruption is expected until 6pm.

ScotRail posted: “Due to a fault with the signalling system between Dalgety Bay and Burntisland fewer trains are able to run on all lines.
“Train services between Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy may be delayed or revised.
“Our staff are on site and continue to work hard to rectify the fault.
“Once we have more information from the ground we will keep you updated.”
At about 4.35pm the firm updated to say: “The signalling system is back up and operating normally. The team now working to conclude the special arrangements in place to keep services running, once this is done, we’ll be able to begin restoring the normal timetable.”
Good news from @NetworkRailScot. The signalling system is back up and operating normally. The team now working to conclude the special arrangements in place to keep services running, once this is done, we’ll be able to begin restoring the normal timetable. ^CT

UPDATE: @NetworkRailScot’s team are continuing work on the signalling system fault between #DalgetyBay and Burntisland. They believe it’s a power supply issue but investigations are continuing. ^CT pic.twitter.com/mEmI6kD5zT
