Railway Work continues to recover tracks from the very significant damage caused by Storm Eowyn.
@NetworkRailSCOT has had teams out since Friday night checking routes for damage and carrying out repair work. Network Rail has reported around 400 individual incidents across the network. These include multiple trees on tracks, damaged overhead wires, power supply failures, other objects on the line, and more.
They managed to re-open some lines, including between Perth and Inverness, between Inverness and Elgin, between Inverness and Aberdeen, between Dundee and Aberdeen, between Perth and Dundee, between Edinburgh and Tweedbank, between Edinburgh and Dunbar and between Drem and Edinburgh.
But the vast majority of routes remain closed while Network Rail continues its inspection and repair work.
In a statement on social media, they added “We hope to be able to operate some more services, but significant disruption continues into today, Sunday 26th January. Please check the ScotRail website and app for the most up-to-date information when planning your travel. Customers that have been disrupted due to adverse weather can travel with their existing ticket up to and including Tuesday 28th January. Customers can also apply for a fee-free refund on any unused tickets.”
