Disruption to the rail network in Scotland from Storm Floris is likely to continue into Tuesday, passengers have been warned.
Network Rail said it is working “tirelessly” to clear routes blocked by falling trees and debris.
However, some checks will need to be carried out on Tuesday morning.
Ross Moran, Network Rail Scotland’s route director, said: “Storm Floris has caused significant disruption to Scotland’s railway, with wind speeds of up to 90mph, unprecedented for a summer storm.
“Our teams have been working tirelessly to keep services moving where possible and to clear fallen trees and debris from the tracks.
“As the storm passes later this evening, our focus switches to inspecting routes which have been closed by fallen trees, debris and other damage.
“Our teams will work through the night, but this work will continue into Tuesday morning.
“We’ll use two helicopters to assist engineers on the ground. We’re grateful to passengers for their patience whilst we do this.”
Rail, road and ferry travel have been disrupted and festival events cancelled as Storm Floris sweeps across Scotland, bringing with it heavy rain and gusts in excess of 100mph.
Disruption on the railways has left passengers facing multiple cancellations, while a number of roads around the country have been blocked.
Western coastal areas are bearing the brunt of the summer storm but strong winds and heavy rain are affecting much of the rest of the country.
An amber weather warning is in place in an area stretching from the central belt to the north coast until 11pm, with the Met Office saying injuries and danger to life are expected from large waves hitting seafronts, coastal roads and properties.
The rest of the country is covered by a yellow weather warning until 11.59pm on Monday.
