A Scotrail service between Inverness and Wick has been cancelled due to staff illness.

The train was due to leave the Highland capital at 2pm today (April 8) and was due in to Wick at 6.22pm.

A replacement bus service will be put in place instead.

The announcement on the ScotRail website said: “14:00 Inverness to Wick due 18:22 will be cancelled.
