Train services through Perthshire have resumed after an earlier signal failure at Blair Atholl station caused the line to be closed.
Train operator Scotrail said the problem was due to a “problem with the signalling system” which is stopped trains from running.
Engineers were despatched to investigate the cause of the problem and repair the fault.
The Edinburgh to Inverness service had been cancelled for a time.
Replacement bus services between Perth and Inverness are continuing to be operated for those passengers affected by the failure.
