🚶 Do you use our station escalators? Here are three tips for using them safely, particularly when travelling with kids. 🟢 Hold tight 🟢 Stay away from the sides 🟢 Big step off 👀 Always supervise children on the escalators.
Illustration of two children riding an escalator with safety tips. The steps are: 1. Hold tight—hold the handrail. 2. Stand away from the sides—keep feet from the sides to avoid getting caught. 3. Big step off—be ready to take a big step off the escalator. "Always supervise children on the escalator" is written at the bottom. Network Rail logo is at the top.

We shared a photo from Dalmarnock earlier, where floodwater overwhelmed our pumps for a time overnight. The station is now clear, though the line is closed between Partick and Rutherglen for planned engineering work. We're checking the tunnels for any further issues. 6/8

At Byrehill, near Ayr, we have a tree on the overhead wires, which has caused significant damage to our equipment. It’s not safe for our teams to begin repairs here until the winds drop significantly, though repair plans are in place. 5/8

Sun, 25 Oct @ 13:00. Here's more on the impact of #StormBoelo on the railway. Winds will start to ease in the west this afternoon, but will remain stronger across eastern and far north areas until late Sunday. 1/8 📸 Ardrossan, a tree on overhead wires
Railroad tracks stretch into the distance flanked by dense trees on the right. Some trees lean across the tracks, suggesting recent activity or potential obstruction. The sky is partly cloudy, and sunlight filters through the branches.

Rainfall has been worse than forecast, and we’re alert to the risk of flooding. Areas like Saltcoats and Craigendoran could see waves crashing over their sea walls at high tide, which is approximately 17:40. We’ll share more updates on damage and flooding so far soon.

We are keeping a very close eye on the exposed coasts in the north and west, Highland areas, and areas such as our Aberdeen-Inverness route, which can be prone to tree damage and fallen trees.

Those 60-70mph inland gusts will become widespread through the day, with more 70-80mph gusts on exposed coasts. They’ll start to ease in the west this afternoon but will remain stronger across eastern and far north areas until late on Sunday.

⚠️Sunday 25 Oct @ 08:45. #StormBoelo continues to sweep across Scotland, and countrywide speed restrictions and line closures remain in place until the winds ease. This means extended journey times. Other areas of our railway have also been damaged/flooded. 1/3 📸 Dumfries
