Train passengers faced delays because of a signalling fault.
Another week has begun with turmoil for rail passengers in Scotland as staff shortages have led to more cancelled services.
ScotRail has announced that two services between Aberdeen and Inverness – the 7.09am travelling south and 12pm train travelling north – have both been cancelled.
In addition the 8.55am train from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh and the return journey at 12.08pm are both not running.
A spokesman said that a replacement coach has been organised for each of the journeys and that anyone concerned should speak to a member of staff on the platform.
In the north-east, train tickets are being accepted on a number of buses to help passengers reach their destination.
He added: “We have ticket acceptance arranged with Stagecoach North buses between Aberdeen and Inverness at the following locations: Aberdeen, Inverurie, Huntly, Keith, Elgin, Forres, Nairn and Inverness.
