ALT Aerial view of a flooded landscape near the River Tay in Scotland. The river is surrounded by fields and trees with some areas under water. A road with a bridge crosses the river, and rolling hills are visible in the distance under a cloudy sky.
We're on site at Stromeferry, where a road traffic collision next to the railway has meant we've had to close the Inverness - Kyle of Lochalsh line.
This is to allow the safe recovery of a vehicle. We're working with the emergency services to do this ASAP.

👀 By using footage from cameras fitted to inspection trains, our Edinburgh maintenance team have carried out a vegetation inspection cycle in just 2 months, compared to the 3 years it’d take if done by walking the tracks.

🛠️ We’re set to carry out £9m of upgrades and repairs on the Kyle of Lochalsh line and at Inverness station, with the railway closing between Dingwall and Kyle of Lochalsh for three weeks between 28 Nov and 18 December.

1️⃣Session 1
Our 2019s are taking part in the @NetworkRailSCOT campaign, learning about rail safety ⚠️
We learned that overhead power lines carry 25,000 volts, and they are never switched off⚡️
We even seen the fire brigade making lines safe during the recent storm damage 💨🚒
⚡️ We’ve been dealing with a loss of power to the overhead wires between Coatdyke and Airdrie this morning.
Our engineers are en route, and we’ve identified a fault on a train that could possibly be causing a problem. We’re working with @ScotRail to manage affected services.
⏱️ We're in the final hours of our 18-day programme of closures across Fife, which has seen us make huge progress on our £311m @ScotGov-funded Fife Electrification programme. ⚡
Normal service returns tomorrow, Wed, 28 October. Here's Mhairi with more.
@transcotland @ScotRail
⚡ Overhead wires on the railway carry high-voltage electricity powerful enough to cause catastrophic injuries, horrific. burns or worse.
Never take shortcuts across the tracks. #NoSecondChances
ALT An eye reflecting train tracks and power lines. Text reads: "Never take shortcuts across the tracks" and "No second chances." The British Rail logo is in the top right corner.
Everyone has the right to feel safe when travelling by train.

✅ We’ve reopened the railway at Saltcoats following high winds bringing waves over the sea wall earlier.
We’re now working with @ScotRail to reinstate services between Kilwinning and Largs/Ardrossan as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience if your journey’s been affected.
📸 Another quick snap from Saltcoats on the Ayrshire coast in the last few minutes. Services are suspended between Kilwinning and Largs/Ardrossan.
We're monitoring conditions closely and keeping @ScotRail updated. We'll work to reinstate services as soon as it's safe to do so.

🍁 Throughout autumn, we closely monitor leaf fall. On Friday, we'd seen approx. 45% of leaves down, but by yesterday, due to #StormBoelo, that number reached 67%.
Our 8 leaf-busting trains continue working around the clock across Scotland's Railway.

🌊 We're seeing very high waves coming over the sea wall at Saltcoats, though high tide is still some time away (12:30).
We've agreed with @ScotRail to suspend services between Kilwinning and Largs/Ardrossan until conditions improve.
✅ Good news from Drumchapel. The fallen tree has been removed from the overhead wires, and we're working to get @ScotRail services moving, though it'll take time to get trains and crew back into position.
Thanks for your patience if your journey's been affected. @GBRailfreight
Here's the fallen tree between Drumchapel and Drumry on the Singer line. We'll work to remove it and assess the damage ASAP.
Services between Hyndland - Dalmuir via Yoker and also Hyndland - Milngavie are running, though may be disrupted.
