🛠️ Over 18 days in October (10-28), we’ll make significant progress on the £311m Fife Electrification project, but this will mean changes to rail journeys in three phases. Please plan ahead and see how your journey is affected during that time at nationalrail.co.uk

⚠️ We're dealing with a fault at Clachnaharry swing bridge, near Inverness, which is currently unable to close. Our teams are on their way to investigate, but this means trains can't run between Inverness - Kyle of Lochalsh or Wick/Thurso just now.

⚠️ Due to a signal fault near Whifflet, trains are unable to run through the area. This is affecting trains passing through Whifflet, with some surrounding services also impacted as trains are diverted. We're working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. @ScotRail

The signalling issue in the Whifflet area has been fixed. We’re now working with our train operators to get services back to normal, but some disruption may continue while we do this. Thanks for bearing with us.

The signalling issue has been fixed, but unfortunately this won't mean a quick return to normal. We're working with train operators to manage services, but recovery will take some time- particularly on the busy Argyle Line. Please plan ahead and check journeys beforehand.

🐑 Remember our four-legged vegetation team in Perth? After spending the summer grazing giant hogweed, they uncovered an orchard of more than 50 fruit trees! 🍎 Our volunteers got picking, with 200+ boxes donated to local foodbanks and charities. 👏
