COMMUTERS in Renfrewshire have been faced with travel misery this morning after an electrical fault was discovered near Paisley.
Network Rail engineers have been at the site since 7am, with a falling tree near Elderslie affecting the lines.
Scotrail staff expect the issues to continue until around 10am, but the tree has now been cleared.
UPDATE: Our Integrated Control team are now beginning to restore the normal timetable. This is being done on a train-by-train basis, as train crews become available and are back in position. ^CT

Services are expected to return to normal over the next hour or so on a train-by-train basis.
Elsewhere, there was a four car smash on the J27 at Arkleston at around 6.14am this morning.
The incident has been cleared, but the condition of those in the accident is still unkown.
Meanwhile, a broken down car on the M8 at J27 Eastbound had forced a lane to be closed earlier this morning, leading to more traffic misery for commuters.
However, the car has now been cleared and traffic is slowly returning to normal.
Strong winds, with potentially storm force gusts, will cause some disruption on Friday, mainly across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland #weatheraware pic.twitter.com/2hGFo5r0V7
