Since the storm began on Friday the company - which owns and maintains the railway infrastructure - has reported around 500 individual incidents across the network, including 120 fallen trees on the railway.

Lines between Inverness and Kyle of Lochalsh, Wick, Edinburgh and Aberdeen have opened as well as the line connecting the Highland capital to Perth.

Passengers are still being encouraged to check on the ScotRail website and app for the most up-to-date travel information.

The company said that anyone who is unable to use their tickets, or has made alternative arrangements, is entitled to a full refund on their unused train tickets, with no admin charge.

Alternatively, tickets already purchased can be used up to and including Friday, January 31.

More details on refunds can be found at ScotRail.co.uk.
