"In some areas across the UK ferries and trains have been suspended as Storm Bram is bringing heavy rain and wind speeds of 90mph. The Met Office has issued an amber wind warning for Northern Scotland and the rest of the UK has been issued with a yellow weather warning. There is a danger to life warning which comes into effect from 4pm on Tuesday until midnight from flying debris."
"Ross Moran, route director at Network Rail Scotland, said: "Storm Bram is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain, which could disrupt the railway. "Our top priority is keeping passengers and staff safe, and we're already working hard behind the scenes to prepare." Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: "Speed restrictions will be in place across parts of the network, and while this may mean some journeys take a little longer, these steps are essential to keeping everyone safe."
"Scotland's Transport Secretary, Fiona Hyslop, said: "Storm Bram will be the second named storm of the season, bringing challenging weather conditions and a period of disruption to the transport network. "The Met Office warnings show high winds will impact the whole country, particularly in parts of the North West and Western Isles covered by the amber warning, so it's vital people plan ahead if they have to travel.""

The Met Office warns of potential power cuts, damage to homes, and travel disruption with widespread gusts of 70–80mph. Rail operators will introduce speed restrictions and deploy staff to maintain safety. Drivers are urged to plan routes, drive to conditions, and avoid exposed areas if vulnerable.
