Engineers working to clear debris and re-connect communities following landslip at the Falls of Cruachan. Specialist engineers are on-site assessing the damage and putting plans in place to fully reopen the road which is currently down to one lane as quickly as possible. With the slope above the track still saturated with water and potentially unstable, repairing and reopening the railway will be a complex process and timescales for those works are still being assessed.
