ScotRail confirmed on Twitter that the West Highland Line between Lochailort and Glenfinnan is closed due to the landslip and that no trains between Fort William and Mallaig will run until the end of service on Friday June 26.

Network Rail spokesperson said: “The line between Fort William and Mallaig is currently closed due to a landslip beneath the track near Lochailort.

“We have specialist engineers on-site assessing the damage to the track and putting plans in place to repair and reopen the line.

“A significant amount of ballast and other supporting material has been washed out from under the track and it is too early to confirm exact timescales for reopening the line.”
