Part of the train line between Aberdeen and Inverness has been affected by flooding, meaning services will only run part of the way.
Water on the line was reported this morning at first between Keith and Elgin, before a further issue was discovered between Forres and Elgin.
As a result, services from Aberdeen to Inverness will now terminate at Huntly, while trains running in the other direction from Inverness will terminate at Forres.
The line is expected to be closed until Monday.
A small river next to the railway has burst its banks causing flooding on parts of the track between Keith and Forres. It's not safe enough to attempt to divert the water or utilise pumps at this time. We're monitoring the situation.
