Network Rail engineers closed the line in both directions earlier as they carried out an inspection on the track. However, they say the lines have now reopened with a 20mph speed limit being imposed on part of the affected line.
The fault is impacting on routes including the Edinburgh to Glasgow main line via Falkirk High and those between the capital and Stirling and Dunblane. Many services on these routes are delayed or cancelled.
