Flood damaged rail line to reopen

The Edinburgh to Glasgow, via Falkirk High, railway line will soon reopen for passengers after being severely damaged during about of bad weather. Engineers have been working around-the-clock to repair the line which was partially washed away near Polmont when the Union Canal burst its banks on Wednesday, August 12.

Thousands of gallons of water from the breached canal bank washed away sections of track and damaged the embankment stretching along 300m of the railway line.
