A section of the West Highland rail remains blocked due to a broken down engineering vehicle.
The Glasgow to Mallaig rail line is currently blocked between Crianlarich and Tyndrum as a result of a broken down Road Rail Vehicle (RRV).
The vehicle, which can operate on both the rail tracks and the road, was being used by Network Rail to carry out engineering works in the area when it developed a fault.
Engineers have arrived on site and work to remove the vehicle from the line is ongoing.
The incident is the second of its kind to occur on the west coast line in the last week.
Last week, commuters faced more than six hours of delays after a Road rail vehicle broke-down at Gorton, north of Crianlarich.
Commuters are facing an evening fraught with delay.
The incident has resulted in hours of delays and disruption to services travelling on the west coast rail line.
