Warm weather puts ScotRail services on speed restrictions as passengers warned of disruption

ScotRail services on various journeys across the country today will be faced with speed restrictions as Scots bask in another period of warm weather.

The rail company confirmed it has had to impose the limits on some routes including trains bound for Glasgow and Edinburgh, due to temperatures soaring into the high 20s.

Trains will have to run at a reduced speed from around 1pm-8pm in a bid to temper the potentially dangerous effects the sunshine can have on the rails, which may become buckled or overheated in the warmer climes.
