TRAINS between Inverclyde and Glasgow were disrupted this evening after a fallen tree caused the railway line to close for two hours.
ScotRail services to and from Gourock and Wemyss Bay were affected by the closure.
Network Rail Scotland responded to reports of a tree landing on the overhead wires between Bishopton and Port Glasgow at around 7:30pm.
