Newton train line cable theft causes Dalmuir and Larkhall disruption The theft of cabling on a train line caused travel disruption on Monday morning. Services between Dalmuir and Larkhall were withdrawn as a result of the vandalism, while the Motherwell to Milngavie line was also affected. Train operator ScotRail advised passengers to expect delays and disruption after the cable theft was discovered on the line at around 8.30am in the Newton area of South Lanarkshire. Replacement bus services between Larkhall and Hamilton Central, as well as Newton to Larkhall calling at stations via Hamilton, have been put in place on the Dalmuir to Larkhall line, while passengers travelling to Newton are advised to use services from Glasgow Central. Those travelling between Milngavie and Motherwell are advised that the services would run express from Cambuslang to Motherwell. ScotRail said passengers travelling to Newton, Blantyre, Hamilton West, Hamilton Central and Airbles should stay on the train from Cambuslang and travel back to required stations from Motherwell as train services from there will operate as scheduled. The British Transport Police confirmed they were investigating the incident, while ScotRail said they believed the disruption would last until around 10.30am.
