Temporary repairs to the slope above the railway are complete. We’ll work 24/7 over Christmas to fix the track and damaged signalling system.” It comes as trains in Scotland have stopped running until after Christmas as the latest round of railway workers’ industrial action gets under way. ScotRail warned no trains north of the border will run on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, with services expected to resume on December 27.
