Rail passengers are being warned that a derailment in Dundee will disrupt services until Thursday.

The freight service, which was carrying sections of rail, came off the tracks around a mile east of Dundee station in the early hours of Monday.

It caused major transport delays for thousands of passengers as the line had to be closed.

Northbound services terminated at Dundee, while southbound stopped at Carnoustie.

Rail firms put on replacement coach services, but many passengers faced major delays.

Now ScotRail has confirmed the disruption is set to continue for most of the week.

A spokeswoman said: “The train derailed at around 2.20am on Monday morning, and our engineers are currently working on site to get the train and wagons back on the rails, and then to repair the damage to the tracks.

“Nobody was injured in the incident.”

She added: “We are really sorry for the inconvenience this will cause our customers. We’re working as hard as we can to reopen the line and resume normal service.

“Please keep an eye on scotrail.co.uk/dundee-derailment and on our Twitter feed for more information as and when we have it.”
