An early-morning train has derailed after a landslip in the Highlands.
Five passengers are believed to have been on board the 6.03am service from Mallaig to Glasgow Queen Street when it came off the track on Monday.
The slip resulted in the line being blocked between Arisaig and Glenfinnan, Lochaber. No-one was hurt in the incident.
Rail operator ScotRail said services between Fort William and Mallaig will not run for the rest of the day.

A replacement bus service has been introduced which is providing back-up for trains.
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "The train has been derailed but it has remained upright.
"We had five passengers on board and they were uninjured and they have been taken off the train.
"Engineers are on site and the embankment will now need to be cleared to see if it is stable."
A spokesman for ScotRail said a landslip between Glenfinnan and Lochailort had resulted in one of its trains being trapped in this area.
He said: "We expect services in this area to be cancelled until the end of service.
"We have a replacement bus service, operated by Shiel Buses, in place between Fort William and Mallaig replacing train services for the rest of the day."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
