Scotrail says passengers travelling between Carlisle and Glasgow via Dumfries will face delays from Monday morning.
 
Two engineering trains collided on Saturday morning damaging the track. No one was hurt.
 
Trains between Glasgow Central and Carlisle via Dumfries will terminate at Kilmarnock and start back from Dumfries. Replacement buses will run between Kilmarnock and Dumfries.
 
A crane is being brought in to remove the wagons before the repairs can begin. The line is expected to be closed for about two weeks.
“Once the derailed wagons have been recovered the repair work will take approximately three days to complete. Therefore it is expected that the line will remain closed for a number of days. During this time passenger services will start and terminate at Dumfries and Kilmarnock and freight traffic will be diverted via West Coast Main Line and Paisley.”
