The line closures will also have an impact on trains to and from Inverness and Edinburgh.

Trains travelling to Aberdeen from Inverness will stop at Inverurie until further notice, while those heading north will now start at Inverurie.

This means trains will not be stopping at many north and north-east stations this morning.
