ScotRail services to end early today ahead of Storm Isha amber warning
ScotRail have advised that services will end early today on all routes outside the central belt, with gust speeds of up to 80mph expected to hit Scotland.
The Met Office have issued an amber weather warning for very strong winds ahead of Storm Isha today, raising concern that winds of up to 70-80mph could blow trees and other large items on to the railway.
