SCOTRAIL has confirmed disruption to a number of services on Monday morning with a yellow warning in place for parts of Scotland.
A Met Office warning for snow and ice is currently in place for the north of Scotland before it spreads to the whole country from tomorrow.
In a post on Twitter/X, the rail operator said: “Following the advice of Network Rail, the decision has been made to cancel some early morning services between Perth and Inverness.
“Please remember to check your journey before travelling on our app, website and JourneyCheck.”
A separate statement confirmed the details of the services which would be disrupted. It said: “Due to expected bad weather, we are cancelling three trains tomorrow morning (Monday, January 15) between Perth and Inverness, on the advice of Network Rail.
“The trains affected are the 06.47 Kingussie to Inverness, the 08.38 Edinburgh to Inverness which will terminate in Perth and the 08.43 Inverness to Glasgow Queen Street which will only run from Perth to Glasgow.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
