Work is ongoing to make the Wick and Kyle train lines safe after Storm Babet, with train commuters set for another day of cancellations and disruption today.

Trains between Inverness and Wick are set to be cancelled or revised today, with bus connections from Invergordon or Tain in place.

The Kyle line has also been affected, with the 8.55am train from terminating at Dingwall and the 10.56am service being cancelled as well as the 12.08pm train from Kyle to Inverness.

This comes after the deluge over the weekend brought by Storm Babet caused floodings in the area.

On their website, ScotRail state: "The safety of customers and staff is always Scotlands Railways highest priority, and we will not re-open routes until it is judged safe to do so.

"Customers are advised to check their complete journey on the ScotRail website, mobile app, or social media channels before setting out.

"Customers whose journey has been cancelled or disrupted because of adverse weather can travel one day before or three days after the date on their ticket. Customers can also apply for a fee-free refund on any unused tickets."

Over the weekend Storm Babet caused extensive flooding and damages to roads in the Highlands – with key trunk roads such as the A9 and A835 closed for hours on Saturday after flooding left them dangerous and impassable in places.
