Disruption after lorry hits railway bridge near Achnasheen

  • Published

Services on ScotRail's Kyle of Lochalsh route in the Highlands have been suspended for a second time in less than 24 hours.

A landslide near Inverness on Tuesday disrupted services until mid afternoon Wednesday.

Shortly after Network Rail workers cleared the line of tonnes of debris a lorry struck a railway bridge in Wester Ross.

ScotRail said services were likely to be suspended until about 18:00.

It said the bridge involved was between Achnasheen and Achnashellach.

In a tweet to customers, ScotRail said: "Our Kyle of Lochalsh route isn't having the best of luck today.

"A lorry's just struck a bridge near Achnasheen, as a result, these services are suspended until the bridge is inspected."
