TRAVELLERS are facing a second day of disruption on trains to and from Largs thanks to the after-effects of Storm Gerrit.

ScotRail has warned that service alterations will be in place until a full inspection of the line has been carried out to see if it is safe to run trains.

According to the ScotRail app, trains on the Largs route are expected to face disruption until the end of service on Thursday.

The Largs rail line has been closed since Wednesday morning after heavy rain left the line flooded at Fairlie.

ScotRail says that services from Glasgow Central to Largs will terminate at Kilwinning, while trains from Largs to Glasgow will start at Ardrossan South Beach.

A spokesperson said: “Because of severe weather affecting Scotland on Wednesday, December 27, several routes will be disrupted on Thursday, December 28 until routes have been checked to ensure it’s safe to run trains again.

“Please check your entire journey before setting off for the station.”

Valid rail tickets were being accepted on Stagecoach’s 585 bus route between Largs and Irvine on Wednesday, though it’s not yet clear whether the same arrangement will be in place on Thursday.

ScotRail says tickets dated for travel on December 27 will be accepted for travel on December 28 and 29.
