Oil spillage on train line cancels services to and from Scots city

An oil spillage on the train line has caused disruptions to ScotRail services to and from Inverness, resulting in cancellations. The incident led to an announcement by the train company around 10.15pm alerting passengers of the disruption. ScotRail stated, “We have an oil spillage in the Inverness area affecting our trains to/from Inverness. Train services running to and from this station will be cancelled or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.”

This disruption comes on the heels of Storm Bert, which previously forced the cancellation of 10 trains between Inverness and Elgin due to speed restrictions put in place on Saturday. Passengers are advised to stay updated on the latest news regarding train services as the situation unfolds.

In other news, a body found during a search for a missing Scots woman on an island has prompted a police investigation. Shanahan MacInnes was last seen in the Tindill Road area of Balivanich and authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Meanwhile, Morrisons has issued an urgent recall for a product potentially unsafe to eat, urging customers who purchased the item with a specific best before date to return it to the store. Ex-Celtic star John Hartson made headlines after reportedly engaging in a physical altercation with Hollywood hard-man Vinnie Jones.

As disruptions continue on the train line due to the oil spillage, passengers are advised to seek alternative transportation options until normal services resume. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
