The lorry was quickly removed but engineers had to check for damage.

Trains were disrupted after a lorry got wedged under the rail bridge in Tay Street, Perth, today.

Services were brought to a halt while it was assessed whether the bridge had suffered any structural damage in the lunchtime incident.

The damaged lorry was quickly removed from under the bridge while police and engineers investigated.

Services appeared to be running freely again around 3.30pm.

@mimz13 Hi Mariyam. Train has stopped due to a vehicle striking a bridge at Perth. Hopefully you will be on the move ASAP. ^CM
