TRAINS in parts of West Dunbartonshire have been suspended due to flooding as heavy rain sweeps across Scotland.
ScotRail says services on the Balloch-Airdrie and Helensburgh-Edinburgh routes are not able to run west of Dalmuir due to heavy rain flooding the railway at Bowling and Craigendoran.
In addition a broken down train at Drumchapel is disrupting services between Dalmuir and Hyndland via Singer, with trains diverted via Yoker instead.
