Train services across Scotland have been suspended from 7pm tonight as Storm Isha's extreme weather arrives.
ScotRail has announced that trains have been axed tonight along with rush hour services tomorrow morning.
Rail bosses say the decision was taken after a review of the weather forecasts showed that the conditions will be much worse in many areas than earlier forecasts had predicted.
With an amber weather warning in place, heavy winds of up to 80 mph are expected, which could lead to trees and other debris falling onto the tracks, making conditions unsafe to operate trains. This could also lead to trains being trapped on the network.
Line closures will continue into Monday, bosses say and each route will have to undergo a safety inspection, which means it will be later on Monday before any trains can run.
Customers whose journey has been cancelled or disrupted due to adverse weather can travel two days after the date on their ticket, or also apply for a refund on any unused tickets.
Customer are advised to check the ScotRail website or app before travelling on Monday.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said: “The heavy wind and ongoing rain hitting most parts of the country mean that it will not be safe for our customers and our staff, and all ScotRail train services will be suspended from 7pm tonight.
“We know the impact that the withdrawal of train services will have on customers, but our first priority is always to ensure the safety of staff and passengers – and this is a necessary step to ensure everyone’s safety during the severe weather.
“Our colleagues at Network Rail Scotland will be working flat out through the night and into the morning to carry out safety checks, and assess what repairs are
