4/5  💨 #StormBoelo is forecast to bring gusts of 60–70mph right across Scotland, with 80mph possible in exposed coastal areas. 👷 Winds like these can bring trees and debris onto the railway and damage equipment. Closing exposed lines and slowing trains helps protect everyone.

Our weather forecasters are monitoring conditions across Scotland in real-time, and we may need to alter or extend these timings, and potentially implement further restrictions on other routes, should the conditions merit it. As always, we'll keep you updated. Thank you!
