An amber weather warning for high winds is in place until 21.00 on Sunday, 25 October, and a yellow weather warning for heavy rain also remains in place until 21.00.
Speed restrictions will be in place on all routes across Scotland on Sunday. These restrictions mean trains will operate at lower speeds than normal, resulting in longer journey times, delays, and some service alterations.
In addition to speed restrictions, the following routes will be closed or have services cancelled on Sunday, 25 October.
Glasgow Central – Ayr: No trains operate between Kilwinning and Ayr.
Glasgow Queen Street – Oban / Mallaig: No trains operate between Fort William and Mallaig and between Crianlarich and Oban.
Inverness – Kyle of Lochalsh: No trains operate between Kyle of Lochalsh and Achnashellach.
Inverness – Wick / Thurso: No trains operate between Helmsdale and Wick / Thurso.
We've been working with Network Rail’s specialist weather team, who continue to monitor conditions across Scotland.
All impacted routes will undergo safety checks by Network Rail before passenger services can resume.
These checks will ensure the railway is clear of fallen trees, debris, flooding, or damage to infrastructure, and is safe for trains to operate.
Some routes may remain closed after the worst of the storm has passed while these checks are completed.
Speed restrictions may also remain in place on the Far North Line between Inverness and Wick / Thurso into Monday morning.
Please check your journey before travelling, allow extra time, and consider alternative arrangements where possible.
If you have tickets for travel on Saturday, 24 October or Sunday, 25 October, you may travel on any service on Saturday, 24 October. Alternatively, you can use your ticket once routes reopen following the storm, including on Monday, 26 October.
