Scotrail rained off 25 Sept

[Essan]

As for Wednesday 25th, given that the West Highland lines have a history of landslides and other rain related events, I would be suprised if they didn't put speed restrictions or cancellations in place.

For example Loch Treig landslide which resulted in a derailment with the Class 66 involved being cut up in situ.

Or Loch Eilt on the way to Mallaig in 2018 where the train ran into the landslide debris.

Or Pass of Brander/Loch Awe on the Oban line. One in December 2022 which closed both the railway and the A85 or the one in 2010 where the train ran into the landslide.

Probably a few others as well but those are the ones which stick out in my memory. I also seem to recall an increasing mention of closures to allow track reinstatement following drainage washouts over the last year or so.

Roybridge landslides earlier this year - which also closed the road .... (the Kinlochleven road being closed due to landslides at the same time)

As an aside, they were carrying out more work alongside Loch Eilt back in June to further stabilise the hillside there.
