ScotRail is warning customers to expect significant disruption throughout the day as ongoing flooding and a massive cleanup operation remain underway.
Repair works and safety inspections are being carried out across Scotland’s railway network after more than a month’s work of rain fell in a 24-hour period.
Flooding remains a problem in several areas of the country, particularly in the north, as water levels on the Spey continue to rise.
In addition to the standing water, Saturday’s extreme weather resulted in many trains and staff being left out of place because of emergency cancellations and speed restrictions.
Services on the West Highland Line between Glasgow and Oban/Fort William remain suspended.
All services between Edinburgh and Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness are also affected as well as those between Kyle of Lochalsh and Inverness.
No replacement buses are available, ScotRail has confirmed. Some other routes remain affected by speed restrictions as a safety precaution, meaning services may be subject to delay or cancellation.
David Simpson, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said: “The weather we have seen over the weekend has been extreme and in some parts of the country we are continuing to see dangerous levels of rainfall and flooding.
“We appreciate that weather related disruption like this can be frustrating, but our first priority has to be the safety of the public and our colleagues.
