The train firm said it would be imposing a blanket 40mph speed limit across the affected areas and reducing the frequency of its services ahead of a controlled shutdown of the network at around 7pm.
With an Amber weather warning from @MetOffice in place for the east and north of Scotland later today, we’ll reduce the frequency of services running in these areas from late afternoon, with a controlled shut down of the network around 19:00 tonight.
