COMMUTERS face travel chaos as trains between Scotland and London have been cancelled.
LNER services from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh have had to be axed due to a shortage of train crew.
The 5.40am train from Edinburgh to London was cancelled.
And the 10.30am train from London Kings Cross which was due into Edinburgh at 3.09pm will also scrapped.
Several trains bound for the Highlands have been altered for several reasons.
The 11am train from London to Edinburgh will now also call at Northallerton and Durham due to a shortage of train crew.
And the 12pm train to Inverness will terminate at Edinburgh due to high winds forecast.
This means this service will no longer call at Haymarket, Falkirk Grahamston, Stirling, Gleneagles, Perth, Pitlochry, Kingussie, Aviemore and Inverness.
Passengers travelling past Edinburgh will be provided with road transport and LNER has said to speak to station staff upon arrival.
