RAIL services between Kilmarnock and Auchinleck and New Cumnock are back to normal following an incident on the A77 yesterday (August 20).

An incident involving a lorry on the road around 1.30pm yesterday caused it to be closed to traffic.

The HGV struck part of a bridge carrying the railway between Kilmarnock and Auchinleck over the A77.

Network Rail said the railway has been closed until engineers arrive and can inspect the structure for any damage.

But an update yesterday evening said all services are back to normal.
