Storm Jocelyn will cause major disruptions to public transport, as ScotRail and Network Rail say trains will be cancelled from 7pm tomorrow.
ScotRail declared major disruptions across the country during Storm Isha, which are now expected to continue from Tuesday evening.
Trains across Fife, between Inverkeithing and Glenrothes via Cowdenbeath and from Ladybank to Perth, were cancelled from the rest of the day
A yellow rain warning is in place for Fife and other parts of Scotland from 4pm, and it is expected travel will resume sometime on Wednesday after the morning rush hour.
Liam Sumpter, the route director of Network Rail Scotland, said: “While we are continuing to re-open routes when it is safe to do so, we unfortunately expect even more disruption in the coming days as Storm Jocelyn arrives in Scotland.
“If you’re planning on travelling by train this week, please check the status of your journey with your train operator."
More information can be found on the National Rail and ScotRail websites.
First Minister Humza Yousaf said: “Tragically, Storm Isha has led to lives being lost and I send my sincere condolences to the families affected.
“The strong winds and heavy rain have impacted communities across Scotland. I want to thank all those who have worked throughout the night and today to keep the public safe and respond to those impacts and restore normality.
“But the exceptional weather conditions are not over. Storm Jocelyn is on its way to the UK and is likely to cause more disruption, with another period of strong winds further buffeting our infrastructure and rain falling on already saturated ground.
“Travel is likely to again be difficult, particularly heading into Wednesday’s rush hour, so I urge everyone to follow guidance from Police Scotland and check updates from transport providers, Transport Scotland and the Met Office.”
Martin Thomson, National Operations Manager for Resilience at Transport Scotland, said:
“Focus is now shifting onto the next named storm, Jocelyn, for tomorrow into Wednesday, and preparations are already underway with rail, aviation and ferries colleagues to ensure we are as ready as we can be.
“The public can play its part and plan ahead by visiting www.traffic.gov.scot. Staff from our trunk road operating companies will be patrolling the network and undertaking inspections to respond quickly to any further treefall or blocked drains. Their proactive efforts in terms of branch cutting and drain clearing at vulnerable locations has helped minimise disruption in the past.
“Across the wider network, we can expect to see more delays and cancellations with ferries, flights and rail from Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Please check with your public transport operator for the latest information and your local authority and Police Scotland for the latest information on local roads.”
