Network Rail has announced that the West Highland Line has now fully reopened.
The route had been closed by landslips at multiple locations around Crianlarich and Tyndrum as a result of extreme rainfall on Sunday, August 4 when more than three inches of rain fell in just a few hours on to already saturated land.
This caused serious flooding which washed away sections of ballast and embankment and overwhelmed drainage on the railway.
Further heavy rain on Friday August 9, also caused landslips which brought debris down from above and blocked the line at Arrochar.
Since the line closure, teams on the ground have worked around the clock to repair the damaged sites by strengthening embankments and enhancing drainage where possible and rebuilding the track-bed before reinstating the railway.
More than 3,000 tonnes of rock, including 350 one-tonne rock armour blocks, was delivered to the site and used to rebuild and support the embankments.
The site south of Crianlarich is the last section of the line to complete repairs . Sections north of Crianlarich to Oban re-opened on Monday, August 12 and a landslip at Arrochar, to the south was cleared and the line re-opened on Thursday, August 15.
