Glasgow Subway passengers once again faced travel disruption this morning as both circles were suspended due to a power failure in the system just before seven o’clock.

Shuttle servies had to be put on by SPT until the issue was resolved which took until half past eight when all stations were once again open and services were running on both circles.

In other political news, it is possible that there could be a by-election in the parliamentary seat for Rutherglen and Hamilton as the House of Commons standards committee have said that former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier who broke Covid laws should be suspended for 30 days. She is no longer part of the SNP but her seat would be a key target for Labour.

Weather wise in Glasgow, you can expect highs of 13° and lows of 8° with the majority of the day likely to be overcast but dry.
