Scotland flights, ferries and trains shut down ahead of Storm Éowyn

ScotRail suspended all services on Friday, saying it would “not be safe to operate passenger services” due to the conditions.

Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports are operating a limited service, while all but a handful of flights from Aberdeen Airport – which is facing an amber warning – have been cancelled.

Travel reporter Simon Calder told the BBC’s Good Morning Scotland that about 250-300 flights within Scotland had been cancelled on Friday, affecting up to 20,000 passengers.

CalMac said all ferry services were cancelled on Friday, while Northlink said services on its routes would be cancelled or delayed.

Police Scotland said those booked on ferry services between Cairnryan and Northern Ireland should not travel to the area and check with operators Stenaline and P&O for any updates.

They said freight drivers who “must attend” the port should follow instruction from their operators to access the Operation Overflow site, which will provide support.

BEAR Scotland said it was likely major bridges including the Forth Road Bridge would close, while the Queensferry Crossing and Clackmannanshire Bridge would be shut to high-sided vehicles.

The A83 near Dunderave Castle in Argyll closed shortly before 05:00 due to a “traffic incident,” Traffic Scotland said.
