Train services at Edinburgh Waverley have been disrupted after a water pipe burst next to the tracks.

The problem near platform 19 has led to trains being re-routed to other platforms.

Virgin Trains East Coast team posted pictures of water from the pipe spraying high into the station roof.

The train operator tweeted: "The team there are working to get this plugged ASAP!"

The pictures generated some comical reaction on Twitter with one man suggesting the burst pipe could double as a train wash.

Other contributions included: "New water feature?" and "Love the wet floor signs".
