We’ll work through the night to repair and reopen routes affected by #StormBoelo. Flooding, fallen trees/debris, damage to overhead wires, and power failures are among the problems the railway has faced.

👷 Our maintenance team on site at Bishopton on the Glasgow Central - Gourock/Wemyss Bay route.

They're clearing away a fallen tree, ready for our overhead line engineers to move in to repair the damage it's caused to our equipment.

Rainfall continues to be a challenge. As we mentioned, it’s worse than forecast, and there's an increased risk of flooding, particularly in coastal areas during high tide

Speed restrictions right across Scotland’s Railway remain in place. We’ll continue to keep you updated. 3/3

Sun, 25 Oct @ 15:30. We’ve just caught up with our weather specialist on #StormBoelo.

60-70mph winds are becoming more widespread across eastern areas now, and we’ll start to see their impact in the coming hours. The storm remains in line with @MetOffice amber guidance. 1/3

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

Winds are starting to ease in the south-west, though in the east we expect them to last until at least 21:00 and in the north until midnight.

We’ll continue to track the storm and its effects on Scotland’s Railway until it passes. 2/3
