Rush hour trains cancelled across Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee due to 'broken rail'

Multiple rail services have been cancelled across Scotland during rush hour due to a “broken rail” on a track near Edinburgh.

ScotRail warned of major disruption to services following an inspection of the track between South Gyle and Edinburgh Gateway, closing the line to Inverkeithing.

As a result, passengers across multiple areas including Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth have been warned of cancellations, delays and alterations to services on Monday.

On social media platform X, ScotRail said: “Due to a safety inspection of the track between South Gyle and Edinburgh Gateway the line towards Inverkeithing is closed.

“Services will be unable to run from Edinburgh towards Inverkeithing in that direction.”

Network Rail added: “We’re dealing with reports of a broken rail between South Gyle and Edinburgh Gateway on the north bound line.

“We’ve closed the line until engineers arrive to inspect it.”

National Rail said disruption is expected until 11am on Monday.
