CrossCountry trains is operating a full service to Newcastle.
East Coast trains is running a shuttle service between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Edinburgh but is advising passengers to avoid this area.
There are no East Coast services to/from Glasgow Central or Inverness so customers should use ScotRail or replacement bus services.

Yesterday hundreds of people were stuck on a Virgin train from London to Glasgow for up to 15 hours after being stranded in the Lake District between two landslides.
Weather conditions are expected to improve today.
