Disturbance on Inverness train delays north-east services

Rail services between Aberdeen and Inverness have been delayed following an incident on a northbound train.

Scotrail said a passenger had “caused a disturbance” on one of its services, forcing the journey to be abandoned at around 6pm.

A police spokesman said the man had assaulted a conductor, and was then arrested.

The train terminated at Elgin, with passengers apparently urged to remain on-board as British Transport Police officers were called to the scene.

Scotrail said the incident has disrupted later services.
