Network Rail has issued an apology to rail users after "yet another bridge strike" on Scotland's railway.

Rail services were temporarily halted between Glasgow Central and Neilston  after a lorry struck a bridge between Muirend and Kings Park around 3pm on Tuesday.

The line reopened around an hour later after an inspection of the bridge by a structural engineer.

Network Rail took to Twitter to apologise to rail passengers, tweeting: "We're very sorry to passengers who have been disrupted by yet another bridge strike on Scotland's Railway."
