On its website, it stated: “The impact of Storm Éowyn has been felt across Scotland’s Railway, with extremely high winds causing significant damage to infrastructure throughout the country.

“Our colleagues at Network Rail are working flat out to remove fallen trees and other debris from the tracks. They also need to carry out repairs to some of the damage, such as overhead lines.

“All of this needs to be complete before we can safely run trains.

“Unfortunately, this means that ScotRail services will remain heavily impacted throughout Saturday, 25 January.

“The safety of our staff and our customers is our absolute priority, and we will only run trains when it is safe to do so.”
