Storm Amy is expected to bring high winds and heavy rain to parts of Scotland from Friday evening, with the potential for widespread disruption to rail services. An amber weather warning is in place from 17.00 tomorrow until 09.00 on Saturday, and across some areas after Saturday.
Network Rail’s specialist weather team is closely monitoring the storm’s path and working with ScotRail to confirm which routes are most likely to be impacted.
The following lines will close from 18.00 on Friday due to forecast wind gusts and heavy rain:
- Mallaig – Fort William
- Fort William – Crianlarich
- Inverness – Aberdeen
- Inverness – Wick / Thurso
- Inverness – Kyle of Lochalsh

You will not be able to travel on these routes and there will be no replacement transport available. ScotRail is encouraging customers who need to travel to do so earlier in the day tomorrow, or on Thursday evening.
On all other routes, speed restrictions will be introduced from 19.00 until the end of service, to ensure the safety of customers and staff. This may extend journey times and result in some service alterations.
