The central belt of Scotland in particular was badly hit by the high winds and heavy rain, with a total of 23 out of 30 possible train routes affected by a “major disruption”, with a number of trees falling onto lines - and overheard wires damaged.

Though the storm did die down on Wednesday evening with the Met Office stating that it is set to move south into England and Wales, some train lines are still affected.

ScotRail have stated that if you had a ticket for travel on Wednesday which you couldn’t use, you are able to use these today (Thursday) instead.

Speaking about the travel chaos on Wednesday, a spokesperson for ScotRail said: “We are sorry to customers for any disruption to their day.

Network Rail engineers have been working through the night to get things back to normal for this morning but there is still some disruption.

Our advice to customers is please check your journey before leaving the house this morning.”
