The rail tunnel at Glasgow Queen Street has reopened after being closed for 20 weeks during improvement works. The tunnel closure was part of a wider project to revamp Queen Street and allow longer, faster trains to run from the station. During the works, trains to Stirling, Edinburgh and Aberdeen were diverted to low-level platforms or Glasgow Central. The £60m revamp of the tunnel has been completed a day earlier than originally planned.
