SCOTRAIL has confirmed there is some disruption across Scotland’s rail network this morning as a result of flooding and strong winds.
Although the worst of Storm Henk has hit England and Wales, the Met Office did warn on Tuesday the country would be hit by showers and even snow in some parts.
An update on ScotRail’s Twitter/X page shortly after 7am this morning said: “Due to flooding of the railway between Dyce and Inverurie, trains are currently only able to use one line.”
ScotRail explained this means the following:
- Inverurie-Montrose services start/terminate Aberdeen
- Aberdeen-Inverness services will be delayed
- Aberdeen and Inverurie have been delayed or suspended
It added a mini bus is “on standby at Aberdeen from 8.30am that can be used as required”.

- Wick line until 0900 today (January 2)
- Aberdeen-Inverness until 3pm today
- Dundee-Aberdeen until 0900 tomorrow (January 3)
The storm has led to 300 flood warnings across England and Wales while 10,000 homes remain without power on Wednesday morning.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
