A spokesperson for ScotRail said: "We're working hard to recover from an earlier fault with the signalling system between Gorebridge and Stow.

"Until trains and crew are back in position, Edinburgh-Tweedbank services may be cancelled, delayed or revised."

Meanwhile, the train operator has confirmed it has "no current plans" to introduce parking charges at Tweedbank or other Borders stations.
