Leuchars - security alert: 2nd Dec

[overthewater]

16.04 Scotrail service from Aberdeen to Edinburgh Arr 18.32, has been cancelled at Leuchars due to a security alert. I'm lead to believe all passengers have been taken off the train.

It now seems the 17.40 From Dundee to Edinburgh has also been taken off for the same reason:

Do not forget that the station at Leuchars backs on to the domestic side of the army station.
