Storm Amy danger warnings as wind gusts approaching 100mph recorded

The Forth Road Bridge has closed to all vehicles while the Clackmannanshire Bridge, Kincardine Bridge and A1 Tyne Bridge in East Lothian are expected to be closed for high-sided vehicles.

Transport company Bear Scotland said it hoped the Queensferry Crossing across the Firth of Forth would remain open to cars thanks to its wind shielding, but it may close for high-sided vehicles.

Ross Moran, Network Rail route director for Scotland, said he expected the storm to bring "severe and substantial across the network".

He said four railway lines were closed as a precaution - the West Highland Line, the Highland Mainline, the Wick Line and the Kyle Line - and there were speed restrictions on all Scottish routes.

"We have to put safety first and those speed restrictions mean there are likely to be some cancellations, there is likely to be some delays - so the message is check before you travel," he said.
