Caledonian Sleeper has cancelled all its Scotland-London trains on Thursday and Friday nights.
ScotRail said “it will not be safe to operate passenger services due to the forecast weather conditions” and no alternative transport would be available.


The Scottish Government-owned firm said its decision followed a review of the weather forecasts, “which shows that the conditions will be much worse in many areas than earlier forecasts had predicted”.

ScotRail said passengers could travel up to Tuesday instead or apply for a fee-free refund.
Service delivery director Mark Ilderton said: “The Met Office weather warnings for very high winds across the country mean that it will not be safe for our customers and our staff, and all ScotRail train services will be suspended on Friday.

“Our colleagues at Network Rail Scotland will be working flat out once the worst of the weather passes, to carry out safety checks and assess what repairs are required to reopen the railway.
“We will update our website, mobile app, and social media feeds with the latest travel advice, and customers should check for further updates before they attempt to travel on Saturday morning.”
