ScotRail have said services are currently running well, but there may be some disruption on rural routes later today.

⚠️ 🌧️ We're keeping a close eye on the weather today, as we had some heavy spells of rain overnight, which have continued into this morning.

At this time, things are running well, however, this may cause some delays on rural routes.
