TRAINS will not travel to or from North Berwick today because of snow on the line.
The line was opened over the weekend but more snow fell onto a section of the line between Drem and North Berwick yesterday (Monday).

ScotRail announced that the line would be closed "until further notice".
UPDATE: We’ve just received word from #NorthBerwick that the line will be closed until further notice. It requires a daylight inspection due to the amount of snow at risk of falling onto the track from cliffs above the railway. ^CT
