It said teams were on their way to carry out a track inspection but that disruption is likely to last until the end of the day.

The Caledonian Sleeper train also runs along this line.

ScotRail said rail replacement buses are available calling Glasgow Queen Street and Mallaig, and “limited” ticket acceptance is in place with Citylink buses between Fort William and Glasgow.
