An investigation is underway after Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley were among 20 stations across the UK to be hacked in a "cyber security incident".

It's understood the WI-FI providers at the stations were hacked on Wednesday evening. Users logging on to the service were met with a webpage, seen by the Manchester Evening News, which read 'We love you, Europe'.

The worrying page also contained information about terror incidents in the UK and abroad and appeared to have an anti-Islamic message. The cyber incident hit Scotland's two main train stations as well as 11 in London, including Euston and Victoria.

The cyber attack brought up a message when connecting to the Wi-Fi at Network Rail stations

Other stations hit by the hack were Manchester Piccadilly, Birmingham New Street, Leeds, Liverpool Lime Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Reading and Guildford. It's understood British Transport Police are also investigating the issue. Network Rail confirmed the Wi-Fi services were suspended as enquiries take place.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “We are currently dealing with a cyber security incident affecting the public Wi-Fi at Network Rail’s managed stations. This service is provided via a third party and has been suspended while an investigation is underway.”

British Transport Police have been contacted for a comment.

Boeing delivers 33 jets in September as strike weighs on output
Boeing's September deliveries were up by six jets from the same month in 2023, when the U.S. planemaker handed over fewer of its strong-selling 737 MAX planes to customers as it struggled with work needed to correct a manufacturing defect. The strike, which started on Sept 13, has halted production of the MAX, along with Boeing's 777 and 767 widebody jets, hitting a revenue-driver at a time when the company was already struggling with lower narrowbody production due to a quality crisis and weak margins in its defense business. Boeing handed over 27 MAX jets to customers last month, including five to United Airlines, and three each to customers Ryanair, and Southwest Airlines, whose CEOs have expressed concern over lower deliveries.
