Rail travel in the Highlands and Moray will be disrupted today as damage from two separate weather incidents becomes clear.
Parts of the track between Elgin and Forres on the main Inverness to Aberdeen line were washed away by flooding yesterday.
And further north, there was a landslip between Dingwall and Garve last night.
Work has been carried out overnight 15 tonnes of debris were removed, and Network Rail carried out a track inspection this morning.
Trains will resume, although speed restrictions will be in place between Inverness and Garve.
