Parts of Glasgow's North Clyde rail line will close over the festive period for engineering work.
The line between Hyndland and Yoker will close from 25 to 29 December, followed by Partick to Westerton from 1 to 4 January.
Engineers will also inspect the roof and structures at Glasgow Queen Street on New Year's Day, and replace worn-out track at Finnieston on 3 and 4 January.
Network Rail says much of the overhead equipment on the line is more than 65 years old. The work is part of a £20 million, three-year upgrade, with work planned over Christmas and New Year in 2026, 2027 and 2028.
Route director Gary Hopkirk said most of the railway will stay open and asked passengers to check their journeys before travelling.
