Trains on some routes travelling in and out of Scotland on the West Coast Main Line have been cancelled for the rest of the day.

Avanti West Coast confirmed services north and south of the border have been suspended due to damage to overhead wires between Lockerbie and Carlisle.

And TransPennine Express said no trains will run between Preston and Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central.

The train operator said the line was blocked after a tree fell near Beattock in Dumfries and Galloway.

Anyone with tickets can be used on the same route on Tuesday instead.

Any passengers who no longer want to travel due to the disruption can request a full refund from the point of purchase.

The disruption is expected to last until the end of the day.

Andy McClements, from TransPennine Express, said: "It's rare that we advise customers not to travel, but it is likely to take much of today to clear the tree from the lines and we cannot guarantee travel between Carlisle and either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

"We will have additional members of staff out and about on the route today to help our customers, and we are allowing customers with tickets to travel tomorrow to help get them where they need to be."

TransPennine Express said anyone who decides to travel on Monday can use their ticket on the following services:

• Between Glasgow and Edinburgh in both directions on ScotRail services
