Some limited rail replacement services are in operation, but travellers are advised to check directly with @transcotland @ScotRail @CalSleeper and @LNER.
A Network Rail spokesman said: “With Storm Gerrit now cleared away from Scotland, recovery and route proving will begin on impacted routes later this morning.
“This takes place during daylight hours and will start shortly, once enough light is available for teams on the ground.
“We will update throughout today as our teams work across impacted routes.
“Once a line has been fully checked and is confirmed safe to reopen, we will do this right away, allowing services to resume as quickly as possible.”
