Treacherous downpour floods Scots railway line causing headaches for travellers

Rail passengers in north-east Scotland are facing disruption and cancellations after part of the line was flooded. Services to and from Aberdeen have been cancelled due to a reported landslip between Stonehaven and Laurencekirk at around 5.30pm today.

Heavy rain has been battering the area today, reports our sister site Aberdeen Live. And it is set to continue with a Met Office yellow weather warning is in effect along Scotland's East coast until 6pm on Friday, and an amber alert for much of the region until 3pm.

Network Rail Scotland said on Twitter: "We’ve had a report of flooding on the line between Laurencekirk & Stonehaven. Our track team are on their way, but we’ve closed the line until we’ve inspected the area."
