Travel Delays and Train Cancellations Expected Across UK as Heavy Snowfall Hits Parts
Heavy snow and blizzard conditions have forced ScotRail to cancel all Thurso train services with no replacement buses available, affecting travel plans over the weekend.
- Friday, ScotRail suspended all trains to and from Thurso, halting services for at least the rest of the day after lines were reported blocked.
- Heavy snow in the Georgemas area forced services off the rails, ScotRail said the snow patrol locomotive reported severe accumulations north from Perth, halting trains to or from Thurso.
- ScotRail said it could not source replacement buses because of road conditions and supplier availability, and customers with Friday tickets can use them on Saturday and Sunday at no extra cost.
- Specific services were revised: the 12.34 Wick to Inverness train did not call at Thurso and was running around thirty minutes late, while the 18.31 Inverness to Wick service will depart late and omit Thurso.
- Warnings already cover much of the Highlands and extend into the weekend, with Met Office amber alerts warn 10-20cm of snow likely at low levels and 30cm on high ground, with winds causing blizzard conditions.
