Glasgow Subway users facing disruption due to closure of two stations

Anyone using the Glasgow Subway will be facing disruption today due to two stations being closed on the line.

SPT bosses have confirmed that West Street and Kinning Park stations will not be open today due to "operational issues".

It comes as the city's public transport network prepares for a busy weekend.

As well as it being a Bank Holiday weekend, thousands of football fans will be travelling to Hampden Park for two Scottish Cup semi-final games.

Hibs and Hearts are due to meet at the south side stadium this afternoon with ScotRail already urging fans to plan ahead.

Glasgow Subway took to Twitter on Saturday morning to apologise for the disruption.

They said: "Apologies all, West Street and Kinning Park Stations are closed today due to operational issues. We apologise for the inconvenience."

ScotRail also took to social media to advise anyone travelling on the network today.

They said: "Off to Hampden? Leave loads of extra time for your journey - you'll need to queue up to board trains heading to/from the match.

"You can save some time now by getting a train ticket on your phone with our app. Remember, you don't need separate tickets for each leg of the trip!

"If you're travelling with us this evening remember it's a legal requirement to wear a face covering (unless exempt) in stations including open platforms, and onboard trains. Alcohol consumption remains banned on our trains and in stations."
