Flooding causes disruption to trains between Dundee and Aberdeen

Train services between Dundee and Aberdeen are facing disruption due to flooding on the line.

The route has been disrupted twice due to water running onto the tracks at Carmont, near Stonehaven.

Services were suspended northbound at around 8am but resumed at 10am. However, trains between Montrose and Inverurie have been suspended again.

ScotRail says speed restrictions will also remain in place for the rest of the day.

Ticket acceptance is in place on CityLink bus services between Dundee and Aberdeen.

Same stretch of track where crash happened

The affected stretch was the same area where a ScotRail service crashed due to severe weather in August 2020.

Three people – Brett McCullough, Christopher Stuchbury and Donald Dinnie – died in the derailment.

Following the incident, a Rail Accident Investigation Branch report concluded a drain at the site was not built to design so could not handle heavy rain and it was not properly inspected or maintained.

Flooding affecting other parts of Angus

Neil Davidson, a partner Digby Brown Solicitors, which represented some of the victims, questioned why reduced speeds were not imposed at the time due to the extreme wet weather on the day.

The line’s closure came after several parts of Tayside were hit with flooding on Tuesday including Forfar town centre.

A yellow Met Office warning for thunderstorms was in place until 10am on Wednesday for much of Angus.
