Dozens of cancellations were causing major disruption for Highland rail passengers on Monday morning – amid two active weather warnings and fears of localized flooding.

Network Rail Scotland and ScotRail had both warned passengers of likely disruption ahead of today, brought on by concerns over "extreme weather."

The Met Office has warned of up to 80 mm of rainfall over higher ground in western parts of the Highlands in the space of just 24 hours. It is feared that this high volume of rain, coupled with a thaw among lying snow, could cause flooding problems.

A separate warning for snow for the far north as well as eastern Highland coasts – and also extending as far south as Badenoch and Strathspey – is also in force until 8 p.m. on Monday. Up to 10 cm could fall above 300 meters, although some snowfall is also predicted to lower levels.

This weather has prompted a wave of cancellations and speed restrictions.
