Trains have been cancelled this morning after a break-down at an Angus station.
A Caledonian Sleeper service encountered problems in Arbroath, causing a knock-on effect on journeys running between Aberdeen to Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
A locomotive was sent to Arbroath to assist the broken down train, arriving at 9am.
ScotRail also arranged for buses to convey passengers between Aberdeen and Dundee.
The 8.38am service from Stonehaven to Penzance was cancelled due to the problems.
UPDATE: #Arbroath. Aberdeen – Edinburgh/Glasgow services will start/terminate at Dundee. Working on buses for Dundee-Aberdeen. ^CT
