Train services across Scotland have been cancelled, delayed or revised due to upcoming downpours.
ScotRail has suspended some services due to a yellow weather warning for heavy rain in place in the Highlands and north east.
Met Office forecasters have shortened the rain warning and moved its end time from midday on Sunday to 6pm Saturday. A shuttle train service will operate between Inverness and Perth and Aberdeen and Dundee, but it will be subject to delay due to speed restrictions imposed as a precaution. TransPennine Express will be running a limited service between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Edinburgh only, with a heavily reduced service running between Edinburgh and Newcastle. Most trains will be revised to start/terminate at Newcastle and are not calling at stations towards Edinburgh.Meanwhile, repairs at Morpeth are also disrupting services between Scotland and England.
“Our first priority is always to ensure the safety of our staff and customers. As a precautionary measure, speed restrictions will be in place across the Highlands and north east, which will result in extended journey times and the removal of some direct services.The latest flood forecast issued by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency said significant flooding impacts from rivers and surface water are likely in the north east on Friday and Saturday.
