ScotRail urged customers to check their journey before traveling.

David Simpson, ScotRail operations director, said: “We’re doing everything possible to mitigate the impact of this week’s severe weather conditions, but customers should check their journeys before travel.

A Scottish Water spokesman said: “We are aware of the weather forecast and will be prepared as much as possible for heavy rainfall and the impact of that on the sewer network.

“We will be monitoring this very closely and we have teams on standby to assist wherever possible.

“Scottish Water are committed to working with partners from all relevant agencies including Fife Council to help alleviate flooding should this happen.”
