Passengers travelling by train on north Highland routes will be hit delays this morning with heavy rain forecast across the north-west of Scotland.

It is asking customers to check services at National Rail Enquiries ahead of travel, but warned of unspecified delays in journey times.

"Disruption is expected to last until 12:00 today."
