Glasgow's subway has re-opened after a fault caused both lines to close for hours on Monday morning.
Commuters faced lengthy delays today after SPT closed both lines on the Subway due to a fault.
Both the inner and outer circles of the Glasgow subway were suspended due to a 'major' signal fault, which meant it was unsafe to run the trains.
SPT confirmed through the Glasgow Subway social media pages, that the issue had been ongoing since 9:45 am while apologising for the disruption.
However, they said both routes would be back up and running as soon as possible.
A spokesperson said: "Apologies all, both Circles are currently suspended due to a signalling failure. We are working to get everything all up and running again ASAP. Update to follow. Apologies for the inconvenience."
Now, the tube operator has announced that both lines are active again, after engineers managed to resolve the issue.
Both Inner & Outer Circles are now running. We apologise for the inconvenience & thank you for your patience. pic.twitter.com/pNIYetA8en
