Travellers are facing Hogmanay disruption on Scotland’s railways after Friday’s floods.
The West Coast Mainline is closed between Carlisle and Scotland with a landslip causing damage to the track.
The Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh line had to be closed for a number of hours due to severe flooding but it has since reopened.
Two flood warnings and three alerts were still in place for parts of central Scotland on Saturday evening.
Network Rail said its engineers had been assessing the landslip on the west coast mainline to establish what repairs are needed to reopen the railway south of Carstairs. It said the line would remain closed for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, engineers worked through the night to clear a landslip on the line just south of Markinch station in Fife.
Train passengers for services north of Edinburgh and south from Aberdeen and Inverness are currently advised not to travel.
