ScotRail has canceled all services due to Storm Éowyn’s red weather warning, prioritizing safety as high winds are expected across Scotland.
The winds are expected to be pretty intense, with gusts hitting up to 100 mph. So, it’s no surprise that they’ve made this call. Other train companies like LNER and TransPennine Express have also advised people not to travel.
The Met Office has warned that the red alert will be in place from 10 AM to 5 PM. It covers a large area, including central Scotland and the Borders. They’re also expecting some snow in the highlands, which adds to the chaos.
ScotRail has urged everyone to stay put and not travel. They’ve suspended all services for the day, and there won’t be any alternative transport available either. If you had plans to travel, you can use your tickets on different days.
Schools in East Lothian and Midlothian are closing too. They’re waiting to see what happens with schools in Edinburgh and West Lothian. It’s definitely a day to stay safe and warm at home.
