Flights delayed, rivers flooded and roads and railways disrupted by after-effects of deadly US ‘bomb cyclone’
Flooding has caused widespread travel disruption across Scotland with warnings over strong winds and ice heading into Hogmanay on Saturday, as the impact from the US “bomb cyclone” continues.
Train services across western, eastern and central parts of the country were severely disrupted throughout Friday due to flooding on key routes between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Fife and Inverclyde and on the North Clyde line from Helensburgh. The weather also led to sections of the M9 and the M74 motorways being closed.
