Trains and buses to Aberdeen and Inverness and across the north-east and the Highlands have been cancelled today due to staff shortages.
RMT members at ScotRail are currently refusing overtime as part of a dispute with the operator after rejecting a 5% pay offer.
More than 2,000 members of staff across the country, including ticket examiners, conductors, station staff and CCTV operators, are currently declining to work extra shifts.
