ScotRail will continue to run its replacement bus services from Paisley Gilmour Street. Passengers travelling on the route between Glasgow Central and Gourock/Wemyss Bay are urged to check before they travel on Wednesday, March 19.
Simon Constable, Network Rail operations director, said: “We want to thank passengers for their patience and understanding.

Those travelling are asked to check their journey in advance at scotrail.co.uk or nationalrail.co.uk.”
